Coulée de Serrant

The Joly family owns the Coulée de Serrant vineyard, which alone constitutes a small appellation contrôlée of 7 hectares. The vineyard was planted in 1130 by Cistercian monks and today consists of vines aged between 35 and 80 years old. Always considered a rare and unique wine, the Coulée de Serrant was celebrated by Louis XI and Louis XIV as one of the best French white wines. The vineyard is cultivated partly by hand and partly by horse due to the steepness of its slopes overlooking the Loire. Since 1984, the entire estate has been cultivated according to biodynamic agriculture methods. Three wines are produced in small quantities on the property and benefit from the principles of biodynamic agriculture: "Coulée de Serrant", "Clos de la Bergerie" and "Les Vieux Clos".
