Clau de Nell

Clau de Nell produces wines in Saumur, the heart of the Middle Loire Valley, where Cabernet Franc thrives in cool-climate conditions. The winery's portfolio centers on this signature variety and its blends with Cabernet Sauvignon, capturing the region's characteristic balance of ripe fruit and mineral tension. The Cabernet Franc shows the varietal's typical structure and freshness, while Cuvée Violette—a Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon blend—demonstrates how these grapes complement each other in the Loire's terroir. Les Fontenelles rounds out the core range. Wines from Clau de Nell have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Decanter, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff.
