Nicolas Joly, Savennieres Clos De La Coulee De Serrant, 1985
🏰 The 1985 Nicolas Joly Savennieres Clos de la Coulee de Serrant is a legendary wine from a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture, representing a 【singular expression of Chenin Blanc from a monopole vineyard】. While specific detailed reviews for the 1985 vintage are rare, Clos de la Coulée de Serrant wines are renowned for their incredible longevity, complexity, and unique oxidative-nutty character that develops with age. Expect a wine that, if well-preserved, would offer a profound bouquet of dried apricots, honey, beeswax, lanolin, wet wool, and a distinct minerality, evolving into notes of toasted nuts and exotic spices. The palate would likely be rich and textured, with a vibrant acidity that maintains freshness, leading to an extraordinarily long and contemplative finish.
🍴 For a wine of such unique character and age, food pairings should be thoughtful and complementary. Consider rich, creamy dishes like roasted poultry with a truffle cream sauce, aged goat cheese, or even a delicate foie gras. For an Asian-inspired pairing, it could beautifully complement a rich Cantonese double-boiled chicken soup or a delicate steamed crab with ginger and spring onion.
🥂 This is a wine for a truly exceptional occasion, a deep dive into the history of biodynamic winemaking, or a gathering of serious wine enthusiasts. It offers a rare and profound tasting experience. Given its age, the condition of the cork and capsule can vary greatly, so careful handling and a professional corkscrew are highly recommended. Decanting, if the wine is clear and sound, should be done gently and just before serving to allow it to breathe briefly without losing its delicate aromas. Serve slightly chilled, around 12-14°C (54-57°F).
