Savennieres Vieux Clos (White) 2023

Luminous and bright with concentrated ripe citrus and stone fruits. Full bodied and rich, exceptionally well balanced with a long mineral finish!

Despite the vast size of the Loire Valley wine region, few of its winemakers have acquired folklore status. But mention the name Nicolas Joly, and nearly anyone who has even a passing interest in organic wine can recount his tale. For nearly 50 years, Joly has practiced what some might call extreme biodynamics on 12th century Chenin Blanc vineyards near Savennières. His three cuvées have become almost as mythical as the man, with each release being carefully allocated, whilst spurring much debate about typicity, consistency and to what degree oxidative notes are friend or foe.

Vinification: Hand-harvested when the grapes had maximum maturity. Aged in 500L old barrels for up to 6 months, lightly-filtered and bottled.

Match it with: Blue cheese, white fish
