  • Clau De Nell, Grolleau IGP Du Val De Loire 2016 Anjou-Saumur, Loire, France
    Clau de Nell, Grolleau IGP du Val de Loire 2016 Anjou-Saumur, Loire, France PRODUCER The vineyards at Clau de Nell have been cultivated biodynamically since 2000. A period of financial difficulty led the previous proprietors to seek help from the late Anne-Claude Leflaive and her husband, Christian Jacques. In 2008, the Leflaive- Jacques family purchased Clau de Nell, which at the time had not produced any wine for three years. Since then, Clau de Nell has enjoyed a successful revival with ex-sommelier Sylvain Potin making the wine and Christian running the domaine. VINEYARDS The domaine is situated in Anjou and is comprised of 8.5 hectares of red varieties planted on a south-facing knoll at 90 metres above sea level. The vines range in age from 30 to 90 years old and are low yielding (on average 25 hl/ha). There are five hectares of Cabernet Franc, two hectares of the native Grolleau and one hectare of Cabernet Sauvignon. They planted 1.5 hectares of Chenin Blanc in 2012. VINTAGE Growers had to contend with a complex array of weather patterns throughout the spring, but warm weather over summer and good conditions towards the end of the ripening season provided a positive end to a difficult vintage. The resulting wines are flavoursome and fruit driven, with excellent balance. VINIFICATION All the grapes were hand harvested and 100% destemmed. Fermentation was carried out using indigenous yeasts in oak barrels with gentle punch downs. The wines were then aged for 18 months in old barrels purchased from Domaine Leflaive.

  • The 2019 Vintage
    THE 2019 VINTAGE The 2019 vintage will remain forever in our memories for the numerous climatic events to which we were privy: an extremely dry year (practically no rain from May through to September), a very mild February followed by two frost spells, one at the beginning of April (temperatures below freezing point) and another one at the beginning of May engendering shatter and poor fruit set for many varieties (Sauvignon, Chenin and Cabernet). THE WHITES However, the 2019 vintage appears to have delivered concentrated and well-structured wines, characterized by high alcohol potential, but also with acidity providing very good balance. The Sauvignon, Chenin and Melon wines will be more typical of the region than last year’s vintage. Just prior to the harvest, the grapes were perfectly healthy (equally an exceptional year from a phytosanitary point of view, as we used few treatments). This allowed us to obtain clear and frank juice. The complexity of this year was decided at the harvest date in light of the fruit’s uneven rate of maturity (chiefly due to frost). Well-managed vines or those planted in deep soils tolerated the lack of water a lot better. The ones that were not frozen offered a yield similar to that of 2018. The estimated volumes were less than expected, as the Chardonnay and Chenin vines produced 40 hl/ha. Sauvignon was the white grape variety that held up best with an average quantity of 50 hl/ha in Touraine, however the vineyard of Nantes remained under the 30 hl/ha mark. Rainfall during the month of September was beneficial especially when it comes to the Cabernets from Anjou Once inside the vats, the Melon B musts displayed a pH range of 3.15 to 3.20 with plenty of tartaric acid and potassium.

  • Problem Foods and Wine Pairings
    wine killers Problem Foods and Wine Pairings When food and wine are properly paired, it’s sublime. Every sip enhances every bite. Food tastes better. Wine tastes better. But the culinary gods don’t always make it easy to achieve pair- ing perfection. Some foods are just…well…difficult to pair with wine. Brought to you byWineCoolerDirect.com WineCoolerDirect.com | 1 What we ideally hope to achieve when pairing wine with food is a balance–a relationship between the food and wine that is seamless and enhances both components. That balance can either be achieved by matching attributes of the dish with a wine displaying those same characteristics, or by playing on a contrast between the two. Take the classic pairing of raw oysters with Muscadet. The briny, mineral quality of oysters is mirrored in the wine. Or look at a rich, buttery cream sauce paired with a bright, lively dry Vouvray. The acidity of the Vouvray cuts through the rich sauce and prepares the palate for the next bite. So we understand how food and wine pairing is supposed to work. But what happens when it doesn’t work so easily? Let’s take a look at some of the trickiest foods to pair with wine. We’ll examine why the foods are problematic, and find the perfect wines to balance these tough challenges. Asparagus makes it onto every list of foods that are difficult to pair with wine. The trouble is aspara- gus is a vegetable that is…well…very vegetal. It has strong grassy notes, and the sulfur compounds it contains can make wines taste metallic and bitter.

  • DAME's WINE COLLECTION: We've Gone All in on Natural Wine Because
    DAME’S WINE COLLECTION: We’ve gone all in on natural wine because we believe in celebrating farmers and other stewards of the land who work tirelessly to create biodiverse landscapes. Great wine is a transmitter of a certain place and time in history: if made with nothing but grapes, a bottle has the ability to tell us what the soil in the vineyard is composed of, what the weather was like in a given vintage, and what the surrounding flora and fauna are doing. Cover it up with any number of 60-plus legal chemical additives, and what are you left with? Something engineered that no longer transmits its story. The winemakers represented on these pages make wine from their core; with dedication, integrity, and great care for the land they farm. We are delighted to share the wines and the stories of folks whose hearts lay in the same vein as our own. These producers represent some of the world’s most unique vineyards and rare heritage grape varietals. We believe sharing these special wines with you is an honest extension of our desire to provide thoughtful hospitality. Your evening is in our hands for a few hours and it’s with great pleasure we get to open bottles for you that represent our ethos, the deep culture of the winemakers, and the diverse areas they farm. It’s all about heart, from the vineyard to your table, we hope you find as much charm and joy in these wines as we do.
