November 8, 2017 - Our server made a disaster of the service, pushing the cork into the bottle, no filter on hand, no decanter on hand, so decanted into a water carafe and then didn’t have quite a large enough ice bucket to cool it off. Nose of dried peach, toffee, petrol. On the palate there’s high acidity that overwhelms a bit, but super impressive to taste this in an 83. Flavors of crab apple kisses. Gets better with food.

May 31, 2017 - medium gold. remarkably fresh, lush yet razor sharp chenin nose with elegant, sharply delineated floral notes is austere yet attractive; very acid, mineral flavour,firmly structured. some woodiness along with more mature notes of great class and rich floral complexity, tinged with largely yellow fruits, but a hint of a core of cassis-like intensity in nose; and softer elements on palate to somewhat counterbalance extreme acidity, slowly emerge with air. very long aftertaste. if acidity moderates in time will be superb.

September 18, 2015 - Coulée de Serrant-a-thon: 1967 - 1990. (Racines, NYC): This continued the theme of being similar, yet with subtle differences. The wine initially showed some sulfur on the nose, but it blew off with air. The fruit is a bit more yellow and upfront here than in the '88 or '85 and shows a little bit of botrytis character and honeycomb to go along with refreshing citrus, botanical and stony notes. Big time acid structure, but the riper fruit makes it a touch more generous and appealing than the previous two wines. A-.

September 18, 2015 - An enlightening vertical of Clos de la Coulée de Serrant (Racines, NYC): A bit of sulfur was noted when first poured, but this improved and blossomed with air. Racy and crisp; hints of yellow fruits and dusted with minerals. A bit of herbs and beeswax mixed in with hints of botrytis. Lots of flavor here and loads of personality. One of the most intriguing and "fun" wines of the night.

December 14, 2013 - One of the most interesting wine discoveries I have ever made.
A bottle full of complex tertiary aromas, yet so incredibly fresh, with searing acidity and minerality! It fills the mouth and then keeps on and on. 30 years of age for a white wine? Easy, it appears, for a Coulée de Serrant! Drank from a Magnum.
