Product details
Clau De Nell Anjou Cuvée Violette 2020 is a masterful blend of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, showcasing the unique qualities of each varietal in harmony. Cabernet Sauvignon lends a generous, spicy character with notes of liquorice, cherry, prunes, and dark berries like blackcurrant and blackberry. This robust and powerful grape variety joins forces with the fresh and lively Cabernet Franc, creating a smooth and complex wine. Over time, the wine reveals layers of undergrowth, leather, and cooked fruit, supported by elegant tannins and offering excellent aging potential.
Perfect for pairing with rich and savory dishes, the Cuvée Violette complements red meats, especially when served with sea salt and new potatoes. It also shines alongside a hearty lamb stew with potatoes and vegetables. For cheese lovers, this wine pairs beautifully with the rich and creamy flavors of époisses, making it an ideal choice for red wine and cheese pairings.
