"the legacy left by anne-claude leflaive is immense and precious. this great lady of wine not only invested herself body and soul in her native burgundy but also contributed to the safeguarding of this angevin jewel which, one day, almost disappeared. clau de nell has always been in the hands of enthusiasts and has a history rich in twists and turns. his wines have not finished moving us and surprising us. but let’s go back to his story. the estate was taken over in 2000 by a couple of burgundy winemakers, claude and nelly pichard, hence the name clau de nell. they then fall in love with this mound of clay-siliceous vines, surrounded by nature, overlooking the loire, located in sauné, hamlet of ambillou-château, east of anjou blanc, at the gates of the saumurois. they decide to reveal this great terroir by cultivating cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon and grolleau. unfortunately due to financial difficulties, the estate was put into liquidation in 2008. anne-claude leflaive resolved not to abandon this jewel of vineyards and decided with her husband, christian jacques, to buy the estate and its ten hectares in one piece. in 2009, a new stage manager was hired: sylvain potin. work to modernize the field was then put in place. in 2011, the estate acquired the “clos des noyers”, a 1 hectare parcel of vineyard land that was then planted in chenin in 2013. the same year, the estate developed complementary cave caves. unfortunately, in april 2015, anne-claude leflaive disappeared on easter monday. this pure grolleau is a pure delight. the old grolleau vines express themselves in this wine with delicacy and length! a bright sap of small red fruits guided by a floral and aerial weft caresses the palate tastily.
