DOMAINE CLAU DE NELL

“We have not chosen Clau de Nell, so much as Clau de Nell has chosen us!”
CHRISTIAN JACQUES
Domaine Clau de Nell is located in the village of Amnillou-Château, in the Loire Valley wine region of Anjou. The vineyards have been biodynamically cultivated since 2000. It caught the eye of Anne-Claude Leflaive, and was subsequently acquired by the Leflaive-Jacques family in 2008.
Since then, Clau de Nell enjoyed a successful revival, having Sylvain Potin, an experienced sommelier and winemaker join as onsite manager, bringing along a wealth of knowledge in biodynamic viticulture. The estate continues to be managed by Christian Jacques, with the help of his daughter Claire.
The vineyards of Clau de Nell comprise of 9 hectares planted on a south-facing knoll at 90 metres above sea level. The vines range in age from 30 to 90 years old. All grapes are hand harvested and 100% destemmed before picking in vats.

WHITE
CHENIN BLANC IGP VAL DE LOIRE 2017
“This biodynamic estate was started in 2008 by Anne-Claude Leflaive and continued by her husband, Christian Jacques. But its history is the soil they recognized as perfect for excellent Chenin Blanc. This wine captures intense fruit and lemon and almond flavors, with a touch of oxidation that opens everything up.”

RED
grolleau VDP du val de loire 2014
“This is one of three wines produced by the estate created by Anne-Claude Leflaive of Domaine Leflaive in Burgundy. This wine uses the very local Grolleau, grown biodynamically. Unusually this is a red wine (Grolleau is normally found in rosé). The wine is lightly stalky with red-currant fruit and intense acidity. It is light in texture but rich in complexity, and has some aging potential.”

ANJOU CABERNET FRANC 2015
“Beautifully fresh in its purple color, the 2015 Anjou Cabernet Franc opens with ripe and fleshy cherry fruit on the nose. On the palate, this is a highly elegant, finessed and concentrated red with crunchy but ripe tannins and refreshing mineral acidity that leads to a long and linear finish. This is a concentrated and elegant Cabernet Franc with remarkable finesse. I’d keep it for another couple of years, though, and then you can surely enjoy it for up to two or more decades.”

ANJOU CUVÉE VIOLETTE 2014
“The 2014 Cuvée Violette offers an intensely fruity, perfectly concentrated and floral-scented bouquet with fascinating purity and freshness. Medium-bodied, intense and concentrated on the palate, with black berry, spicy flavors and perfectly ripe tannins, this is a very elegant, delicate and smooth Cabernet Franc with a good and aromatic finish. This wine is very pure and with a natural expression of perfectly ripe berries.”
