clau de nell is first and foremost a story rich in human adventure. it all started with a company called clac, which was created by anne-claude leflaive, her husband christian jacques and the famous soil microbiologists claude and lydia bourguignon in 2006. the idea was to help french biodynamic winemakers export their wines abroad. in 2006, anne claude and christian met the owners of domaine clau de nell. magnificent vines with an average age of 60 years, some of which are a hundred years old. eight hectares of cabernet franc, grolleau and also cabernet sauvignon. 2008 was a complicated period for the young owner couple. in view of the potential of the vines and the terroir, and of the biodynamic cultivation since 2000, anne-claude and christian decided to help them, and to buy the estate to overcome the bankruptcy. after an intense year, the couple decided to leave and turn to another life. in 2009, sylvain potin joined the team as a manager, having gained experience in the world of biodynamics. in 2012, 1.5 hectares of chenin were planted. in 2018, another 1.5 hectares of chenin. in 2020, christian is still at the head of the estate, his daughter claire has joined the adventure to share her passion for tasting through the sale and representation of the domaine. it presents itself as if wrapped in silk. fresh, elegant and full of finesse. the fruit jumps out at us. the berry notes of the nose are similarly enhanced. not banal, but demanding. acidity, astringency and tannins are in the spotlight. in doing so, it appears very meaty and positively rustic. a soapy note allows a brief foray into the floral realm. lavender and violets are prevalent. on the finish, it is much wiser. the aromas now seem coherent and perfectly balanced. full of elegance and style. it should also be noted that it is already very flattering in its youth. at the same time, it has a very good potential of maturity.
