Famille Joly
Clos de la Coulée de Serrant (Monopole)
Considered one of the greatest dry white wines in France, the Clos de la Coulée de Serrant has its own AOC and is entirely owned by the Joly family. A remarkable expression of the land, this Chenin Blanc is produced from 7 hectares of vineyards aging 40 to 50 years-old. With steep slopes and southern exposure, the soil is composed of shale outcroppings (schist) interspersed with quartz. The site on which the vines are planted has remained under vine since 1130. Unparalleled in intensity and complexity, the energy of the property is bottled in this iconic and limited offering that will develop for years to come.

A rich and powerful wine set to stand the test of time. The fruit offers great concentration and the wine is sowing typical oxidative notes balanced with the intensity of the fruit and great acidity.

"An earthy, distinctive style that’s still unfolding. Layers of yellow plum, quince and ginger are coated in salty brine, with notes of fresh tobacco leaf and melted beeswax. An herbaceous thread weaves through the ripeness in the restrained, silky palate. Shows racy, energetic verve throughout, with the promise of life ahead."
