Clau de Nell Anjou Cabernet Franc

Very well made and elegant. Dramatic acidity, sour cherry, plenty of funk. A bit pricy though.

A tasteful au revoir to France; final vintage of sadly departed Anne-Claude #Leflaive's Anjou Cabernet Franc Clau de Nell a perfect match with turmeric chicken & pureed carrot at Restaurant Chardenoux

So much potential.. But Super young... Just beginning to open after 6 hours of air.

By Anne Claude Leflaive

Very nice balanced older Cab Franc. Very mature rather faded fruit laced with earthy notes that opened up. Good acidic texture and finish. Excellent with Amahs ribs and veggies. GL flash buy at 35. Next day even better after Eto and upping a point. Lively and fresh. 12ABV and biodynamic rescue of beaten down Anjou estate by Leflaive of Burgundy fame. Should have one left for a bit more aging

Wild brambly red berries with peppercorn amd subtle herbacious noted

Elegant, needs some time

Bright cherry, cola, red licorice, spice. Medium body, M+acidity / 2.1tons/biodynamic /

Grassy earthy. Light but bold.
