Nicolas Joly Wines : Key Points

In 1977, Nicolas Joly took over his family’s estate in the Loire and has made history forging his own path in the winemaking world. After a successful career in finance working in the United States and the United Kingdom, Joly returned to France and the vineyards, creating age-worthy and complex wines from exclusively Chenin Blanc. Since the early 1980's, Joly has been a passionate key figure advocating for biodynamic winemaking.

After a horrible experience with weed killers in his first years at the helm of the estate, Joly came across a book on biodynamic farming during his research and started experimenting in his vineyards. Through his trials with biodynamic farming, Joly found the soils and vines came back to life and expressed true beauty in an ecosystem without human interference. In 2001, Joly founded Renaissance des Appellations or “Return to Terroir” group to bring together like-minded producers and guarantee high quality wines with great originality and a full expression of their appellation. Today, this group consists of 175 winegrowers from 13 different countries.

The Coulee de Serrant is the most notable seven hectares of vineyard owned by the Joly family. Planted in the twelfth century by Cistercian monks and acquired by the Joly’s in 1961, this vineyard has seen nearly 900 consecutive vintages. The Coulee de Serrant vineyard is also uniquely its own appellation (Savennieres-Coulee-de-Serrant) and is considered to be one of the finest vineyards in the Loire. Grapes from this vineyard go into flagship wine Nicolas Joly Clos de la Coulee de Serrant to create a gorgeous, age-worthy, and wonderfully complex white wine.
