Cabernet Franc coming from 45 year old vines over a 5 hectare parcel, planted in a silty-clay terroir, consiting of sandstone grit and red flint on tuffeau limestone in Anjou. This wine is fermented naturally in the Domaines historic cellars in Anjou, and certified Biodynamic.

Garnet color, brilliant with a beautiful intensity. The nose is carried by crisp red fruits, spices and delicate woodiness. Rich, bold and full on the palate. The finish is with ripe tannins and softness that invites you to indulge.

Clau de Nell is located in the Loire Valley region of Anjou and has been in existence for over 100 years. The vineyards were fully converted to biodynamic cultivation in 2000, and the property was purchased by Anne-Claude Leflaive and Christian Jacques in 2008, who appointed Sylvain Potin as their biodynamic Viticulturalist and Winemaker.

Anne-Claude Leflaive and Christian Jacques purchased Clau de Nell in 2008, and shortly following, Sylvain Potin joined the team as Viticulturalist and Winemaker in 2009.The property is comprised of 10 hectares (24.7 acres) of vines on a gently sloping hill surrounded by open countryside. The highest point of Clau de Nell offers a glimpse of the Loire in the distance. From here, an uninterrupted view reveals the sky and the river on the horizon, as well as rows of Grolleau, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chenin Blanc. As with its sister property Domaine Leflaive, all of Clau de Nells wines are biodynamic.
