WEINWELT 1 ORGANIC WINE TEST

...



For its April 2008 issue, Weinwelt (Wine World) tested 395 organic wines.

The Clos de la Coulee de Serrant, which we submitted for testing, was judged to be an outstanding wine. Only one other white wines was judged as outstanding.

It was described as follows.

"The highlight from the forerunner of organic viticulture: Nicolas Joly's famous steep slopes have provided this incredibly firm, big fat scorcher, which with its mature, unconventionally earthy-spicy-walnutty heavy nature not everyone may enjoy."

My comments: While it is true that not everyone may enjoy this wine, it is a wine which expresses its origins, i.e. the varietal, the location and the naturalness of a great wine.
