Nicolas Joly Savennieres Les Vieux Clos 2024

Nicolas Joly’s Savennières Les Vieux Clos is a benchmark expression of Chenin Blanc from one of the Loire’s most revered sites. Drawn from a historic vineyard with nearly 900 years of uninterrupted cultivation, it combines remarkable depth, biodynamic philosophy, and unmistakable terroir character in every bottle.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a luminous golden-yellow color that signals both richness and energy. The nose is intensely layered, unfolding with ripe orchard and tropical fruit, floral nuances, and a distinctive spicy complexity, followed by notes of pineapple, almond, anise, licorice, and an almost ethereal lift. On the palate, the wine is complex and enveloping, with impressive mineral tension balancing its generosity. The finish is long and persistent, with the kind of structure and vitality that suggest excellent aging potential; this is a wine that can evolve beautifully over many years.

Production
Les Vieux Clos comes from Savennières in the Loire Valley, a steeped-in-history terroir known for producing profound Chenin Blanc. The vineyard has roots dating back to around 1130, when Cistercian monks first planted the site, and it has remained continuously in production ever since. Farming is organic, and the winemaking aims to preserve the purity, energy, and mineral identity of this exceptional parcel.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with rich seafood such as lobster, scallops, or roasted monkfish, as well as poultry, creamy sauces, and fine mushroom dishes. Serve it slightly chilled at around 10–12°C. Decanting is recommended, especially in its youth, to allow the wine’s aromatic complexity and texture to fully open.

Producer
Clos de la Coulée de Serrant is the legendary estate associated with Nicolas Joly, one of the Loire’s most influential and outspoken advocates for biodynamic viticulture.

Les Vieux Clos stands as one of the producer’s most respected expressions of Chenin Blanc.
