Violet and peppery herbs lead on this earthy, mineral-driven Cabernet Franc. The forty-year-old vines show in the wine's complexity, though the fruit has softened with age. Medium-bodied with gentle tannins and a long, stony finish. Drinking beautifully now.

Clau de Nell is a small Anjou estate producing precise, understated wines from Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc, and the rarely celebrated Grolleau, farmed with care on schist and tuffeau soils south of the Loire.
