🏰The 2024 Nicolas Joly Vieux Clos is a future vintage from this 【iconic biodynamic Savennières producer】, renowned for its expressive Chenin Blancs. While specific tasting notes for 2024 are speculative as it's not yet released, expect the signature Joly style: an intensely mineral white with an expressive, evolving bouquet. Previous vintages reveal notes of quince, ripe pear, orange zest, flower honey, white flowers, and a touch of flint, often balanced by exotic hints of ginger, coriander, and candied pear with a saline accent. The palate is typically upright, taut, and structured, with striking concentration and power, supported by bright, precise acidity. 🍴 This profound white wine is incredibly versatile with food. It shines alongside noble fish, scallops, and lobster, or with creamy poultry dishes. For cheese, aged goat cheese or even pungent, stinky cheeses are excellent choices. It also pairs beautifully with refined vegetable dishes, especially those centered around root vegetables, or even fried foods. 🥂 As a future vintage, the 2024 Vieux Clos will be a highly anticipated release for collectors and enthusiasts of biodynamic wines. It's a wine designed for contemplative drinking, offering a unique expression of terroir. While it can be enjoyed young after aeration, it truly deserves several years in the cellar to gain complexity and reveal its full potential. Serve slightly chilled, but not too cold, to allow its intricate aromatics to develop.
