Savennieres: Coulee de Serrant 2004
Description
Wonderfully complex, dry white wine commonly regarded as the ‘nec plus ultra’ of the appellation. Warming vanilla aromas and flavours of nuts and honey slowly unfurl on the palate and develop with ageing. A sophisticated, contemplative wine that merits wider recognition. The wine should, whenever possible, be decanted 24 hours before serving and be kept at cellar temperature (12 ° C). A re-corked, half empty bottle will keep and even improve for several days without being refrigerated.

Savennières: Coulée de Serrant 2004
Coulée de Serrant is not a wine for instant gratification. It should be decanted at least an hour before serving, the better to reveal its floral and fruit aromas, complex dried fruit and herb flavours and long, savoury, mineral-edged finish.
