Les Vieux Clos

2016 Savennieres White Blend

Nicolas Joly Les Vieux Clos is a remarkable white blend from the renowned Savennieres region, crafted in 2016. This wine showcases a rich, full-bodied character that is both elegant and sophisticated. Its acidity is bright and refreshing, providing a lively counterbalance to the prominent fruit intensity, which reveals layers of ripe stone fruit and subtle citrus notes. The complexity is further enhanced by a touch of minerality, typical of the region’s terroir. This wine is bone dry, making it an excellent choice for food pairing, particularly with seafood or creamy dishes. With every sip, you can appreciate the craftsmanship and dedication to quality that defines Nicolas Joly's winemaking philosophy, making this a delightful experience for any wine enthusiast.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
