The Nicolas Joly 'Les Vieux Clos' 2023 is a biodynamically-farmed Chenin Blanc from Savennières, Loire Valley, often considered the most aromatic of Joly's wines. The 2023 vintage was rewarding yet challenging, with unpredictable weather and a long, slow harvest, but dedicated vineyard work ensured the wine beautifully captures the best of the season. It displays a pale yellow hue with golden highlights. The nose reveals a complex, expressive aromatic palette marked by exotic notes of ginger and coriander, complemented by aromas of candied lemon, white flowers, citrus zest, root and herbal nuances, and ripe fruit. On the palate, it shows a broad, fresh, mineral structure with a saline tension balanced by flavors of very ripe fruit, leading to an impressive, persistent mineral finish. 【A biodynamic Savennières of remarkable purity and often considered the most aromatic of Joly's wines】. This wine can be cellared until around 2035 and beyond. Food pairing suggestions include Angevin-style poultry with mushroom cream sauce, veal blanquette, pike-perch with beurre blanc, turbot in asparagus cream sauce, fillet of sole with artichoke cream, scallops, other seafood, Cantal, Salers, Comté, or very dry goat's cheese. For Les Vieux Clos 2023, it is recommended to open the bottle 24 hours before serving, or to perform a double decanting 2 hours before tasting for wines aged 0 to 3 years. This wine is perfect for a sophisticated dinner, a special occasion, or for those who appreciate complex, biodynamic white wines with significant aging potential.
