Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Produced from the younger Chenin vines of the estate. Complex with deep yellow hue. Open few hours in advance or carafe the wine.

Pair with white meat in sauce, fish with beurre blanc or even simply with a good cheese like goat cheese or Cantal.

Professional Ratings

  • 90
    Firm and supple, this biodynamic wine shows some heady oxidation along with ripe fruit flavors that finish savory and dry. The structure is strong, with mineral depths that will sustain it in bottle. Decant this if you open it now.

Famille Joly is widely known as one of the greatest biodynamic wine producers in France, embodying the intersection of well-respected history and refined technique. The estate is owned by the Joly family, led by Nicolas Joly, and aims to express the natural balance and beauty of the Loire Valley Chenin Blanc vineyards with respect and minimal intervention. Coulée de Serrant, the family monopole, anchors the estate, and recently celebrated its 890th harvest. The three vineyards, each of which is used for a single vineyard wine, are located southwest of Angers, and are farmed entirely biodynamically. Joly’s pursuit is to emphasize each unique facet of these sites, from the age, health and typicity of the soil, to the vine's orientation and the micro-climate that surrounds them. Famille Joly wines are created to depict the balance of nature and its energy.

Famille Joly Winemaker Virginie Joly was raised on the Coulée de Serrant family estate and compares the art of winemaking to pure magic." Working as a winegrower is probably one of the best jobs ever, as you have a direct connection to nature. You’re offered a daily possibility to be outside observing the time pass and the magic – yes, it’s really magic," she reiterates. "Growing of the vines, from a little bud to a beautiful grape. And then taking this juice by the hand and accompanying it to become a wine." Virginie reflects on all the amazing people she has met along the way in her winemaking journey. "Winemaking is a world of passion. I think the wine world is a place where everybody can express themselves through their wines," she shares. "The result will always touch and create emotions for consumers and wine enthusiasts."

Unquestionably one of the most diverse grape varieties, Chenin Blanc can do it all. It shines in every style from bone dry to unctuously sweet, oaked or unoaked, still or sparkling and even as the base for fortified wines and spirits. Perhaps Chenin Blanc’s greatest asset is its ever-present acidity, maintained even under warm growing conditions. Somm Secret—Landing in South Africa in the mid 1800s, today the country has double the acreage of Chenin Blanc planted compared to France. There is also a new wave of dedicated producers committed to restoring old Chenin vines.

Known for its delightful whites and sparkling Pétillant and Mousseux, made predominantly of Chenin blanc, Anjou has a temperate and dry maritime climate. The region's limited temperature variations are admiringly referred to locally as the “douceur angevine,” or “Anjou sweetness.” Fruit forward rosé and red wines from Cabernet Franc and Gamay merit Anjou its success within the Loire subregions.
