Coulée de Serrant, Nicolas Joly's flagship vineyard, is renown for Chenin of exquisite depth and richness. This is remarkable in its balance and complexity. Pineapple sorbet, buttered grilled bread and beeswax are only a few of the flavors you will experience on this lush wine. Decant if serving tonight, especially with roasted chicken, aromatic sauces and buttery mushrooms. This is a wine with great aging potential.

Staff Pick Notes

I’m usually the one holding onto wines because I want to drink them “at the proper age.” Nothing gives me more chagrin than popping a bottle that is nowhere near its prime. Nicholas Joly’s Coulée de Serrant is world famous for its breathtaking depth and long life. It’s a wine that evolves decade after decade into something indescribable. All that said, drink it now. The wine is truly alive. Inside the glass are vivid fruits: yellow plums, tangerines, apricots, and heartwarming earthy aromas of freshly hewn hay, dried flowers, and beeswax. The acidity gives the wine enough energy to vibrate the glass. Few of the greatest wines drink so well in their youth. Which is why this wine is such a marvel.

Chenin Blanc

It produces just about any type of wine you can think of: ageworthy dessert wines; delicious, honeyed dry whites; sparklers; and even bases for fortified wines and spirits. These days, one of the most exciting stories is in South Africa, where newly adopted winemaking technologies have helped a dedicated group of producers to bring the country's dry...
