THE WINE
Chenin Blanc from Anjou Noir, made from organically grown vines on schist and quartz soils. The wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel, followed by aging on fine lees for seven months. It offers aromas of ripe pear, white flowers, and subtle honey, with a creamy texture balanced by crisp acidity and a mineral-driven finish. The wine showcases the purity and expression of the terroir, with minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar.
THE PEOPLE
Clos de L'Elu is a 20-hectare estate in the Layon Valley near Chaume, in the western Loire, founded in 2008 by Thomas and Charlotte Carsin. After taking over the existing domaine, they embarked on a transformative journey, revitalizing the vineyards, planting native grape varieties, and experimenting with different aging vessels to create the exceptional wines they envisioned. Initially drawn to Anjou by Chenin Blanc, they chose to move away from the region's typical sweet styles, instead focusing on crafting dry wines that express the unique terroir. Frustrated by the political constraints of the appellation, they declassified their wines to VDF (Vin de France) in 2018, which also led to a name change for all their wines, including those from the original walled 'Clos' vineyard.
THE PLACE
AOC Anjou is a wine region located in the Loire Valley, known for its diverse range of wines, both red and white. The region primarily grows Chenin Blanc, producing crisp, mineral-driven whites that can range from dry to sweet, and also some sparkling wines. Red wines in Anjou are typically made from Cabernet Franc and Gamay, offering fresh, fruit-forward styles. Anjou’s varied terroirs, from the schist soils of the slopes to the clay and limestone in the valleys, provide complexity and depth to its wines.
