Coulee de Serrant (Nicolas Joly) ★ 4.9
Savennieres-Coulee de Serrant AOC · 7 chemin de la Roche aux Moines, 49170 Savennieres, France
Nicolas Joly's Coulee de Serrant has been farmed biodynamically since 1980 and has been Demeter certified since 1984. The monopole appellation Savennieres-Coulee de Serrant (a single 7-hectare site) is one of the four French wines with its own AOC. Joly's writings and advocacy made the estate the international reference for biodynamic viticulture in the 1980s and 1990s.
Tip: The visit includes a slope walk and the vaulted cellar; Nicolas himself or his daughter Virginie Joly leads tastings. The wine is unique and divisive, made from late-harvest Chenin Blanc with extended skin contact.
Domaine de l'Ecu ★ 4.8
Muscadet Sevre et Maine · La Bregeonniere, 44430 Le Landreau, France
Guy Bossard converted Domaine de l'Ecu to biodynamic farming in the mid-1990s, achieving Demeter certification in 1998. The estate, now run by Fred Niger, has been Demeter-certified for over 25 years.
Tip: Visits include the Le Landreau cellar and a walk through the granite, orthogneiss and gneiss parcels. The three single-soil cuvees side by side are the Muscadet terroir master class.
