July 5, 2023 - 24 hour decant. Some apple and apricot. Hot finish (15%ABV). Not my cup of tea. Maybe 2-3 days later things would have improved

November 2, 2022 - Charleston Offlineorama VII; 11/2/2022-11/6/2022 (Various locations): In a great spot. Just the right amount of Joly oxidation, but with zingy green fruit and nicely integrated acidity. Dynamite with FIG’s Porgy Crudo.

November 2, 2022 - Charleston VII; 11/2/2022-11/6/2022 (Charleston, SC (various locations)): Drinking well as always. This is a bit of a different style of wine always but I find it quite enjoyable. A touch purposefully oxidized I think.

September 2009 (link)(Nicolas Joly Savennières Clos de la Coulée de Serrant, Loire Valley) The Cistercian monks knew there was greatness in this vineyard, which was planted as early as the 12th century. It wasn’t until 1962, however, when the Joly family took the reins, that it began to reach its fullest expression. Coulée de Serrant is now classified as one of the great sites of the world, capable of producing white wines of profound minerality and depth from its red schist soils. Nicolas Joly’s style has been controversial, sometimes displaying bottle variation and a degree of oxidation that might not be for everyone. But if you haven’t tried these wines for awhile, check them out again; the recent vintages are better balanced, showing more freshness and an ampler core of fruit. Hot Picks
