Chenin Blanc

Chenin Blanc

Loire Valley, France

Seemingly spun out of moonlight, this twinkle-toed Chenin Blanc is a true joy to experience, a real diamond in the rough! Except that there’s nothing rough about this polished, opulent white from famed Anjou winery Clau de Nell, a project of the late winemaking legend Anne-Claude Leflaive, a Burgundian who made it her mission to support biodynamic winemakers across France. Anne-Claude was especially gifted with Chardonnay and always aspired to make a great white at Clau de Nell, but tragically passed before that became a reality so call this a swan song of sorts – proud, majestic and won't take a lick of shit. Gently pressed whole clusters undergo a slow, cold fermentation with wild yeasts in old Burgundy barrels, where they rest for a year before another 6 months of aging in stainless steel vats. A chalky, glistening moonrock minerality meets earthly flavours of lemon curd, maple blossoms, quince skin, gourmet white jelly bean, nutmeg fruit & the softest whiff of perfectly integrated oak, filigreed tannins, tense Burgundian acid and a creamy, saline finish.
