Nicolas Joly and his mother are possessors of the smallest appellation in France: Coulee de Serrant. This almost vertical vineyard, dropping down to the Loire, facing due south, makes a mythical wine that is powerful and laden with exotic fruit flavors: oranges, lemon, apricots, accented with spices and the tannins of a youthful white wine. This will last for decades. Imported by Vintus. ——R.V.(4/1/2005)—— 95
