📜 Coulée de Serrant
A single vineyard in Savennières making white wine from Chenin Blanc.
Coulée de Serrant is a single vineyard that has its own appellation. It lies in Savennières, in the Loire valley, in the Anjou-Saumur area of western France. A still white wine is made here from Chenin Blanc, a grape that gives both dry and sweet wines on the Loire.
The plot is small and sits on a steep slope that descends to the river. It belongs to one family, so the rules and style are set by a single owner. The name is protected as a PDO.
Coulée de Serrant wine is usually full-bodied, with good acidity, notes of quince and honey, and a mineral shade. It keeps well, and its flavour becomes more complex with time.
Anjou-Saumur has many other appellations, but this one stands out for its scale and its history. For Chenin Blanc it remains one of the best-known examples in the world.
