Coulée de Serrant

Coulée-de-Serrant is a remarkable Estate and is one of only 3 single Estate Appellations within France today (the other 2 being Romanee-Conti and Chateau-Grillet). Its sheltered south west facing vineyard is an ancient monastic vineyard and is located within the boundaries of the Savennieres Appellation. The 7 hectares of vines have been farmed on biodynamic lines since 1982 and owner Nicolas Joly is one of the most passionate advocates of this controversial approach to viticulture.

The wine is fermented and matured in wood and is bottled after a very light and delicate filtration. This is one of the greatest dry white wines in France - it needs at least 5 years bottle age and wines from the best vintages will last and last.
