Famille Joly Les Vieux Clos Savennieres 2022 750ml
Product Details
The wine provides expressive exotic notes of ginger and coriander balanced with an accent of salinity. Les Vieux Clos is often considered the most aromatic of the three wines.
Les Vieux Clos provides an inviting taste into the Famille Joly style. The 5.5 hectares vineyard is planted on light slopes facing east in the mountainous AOC Savennières appellation. Yields are kept at 25 hectoliters per hectare (well below the 50 hl/ha requirement of the appellation). Unique to this wine in the portfolio, fermentation can be completed partly in tank.
Fermented naturally with 100% indigenous yeasts with no temperature control. The wine goes through full malolactic fermentation naturally, followed by a period of aging for 12 months in used oak barrels. No fining or filtering before bottling.
Wine Spectator Review:
A distinctive version, with green apple saltwater taffy and fresh agave notes anchored by the chalky spine of minerals and apple-skin acidity pulsing through. Fresh hay and brine elements wash over the medium-weight palate, marked by a waft of smoke and a buttered caramel accent. An outlier style, this is a slightly natural-leaning but still complex and intriguing expression of Chenin Blanc. Drink now through 2030. 813 cases made, 213 cases imported.
