Nicolas Reau “Attention Cabernet Blanc”

Nicolas Reau “Attention Cabernet Blanc” is a white wine made from red Cabernet Franc grapes from Nicolas Reau in Anjou, Loire Valley. Grown on clay and limestone soils, before direct pressing (to avoid pigmentation from the grapes’ skins) and fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine then undergoes 6 months of aging in old oak barrels

In the glass are aromas of green apples, white flowers, and citrus fruits. A fresh acidity coats the palate before a clean, mineral finish. Nicolas Reau “Attention Cabernet Blanc” is a thirst quenching, white cabernet franc that pairs well with goat’s cheese, and vegetable quiches.

Before his career in winemaking, Reau was a jazz and blues pianist, and it was his passion for wine that led him to a dramatic career change. After struggling to make a living in music, he turned his focus to winemaking. Reau studied viticulture and winemaking at Montreuil and Bordeaux, and honed his skills by working with winemakers in Anjou. In 2002, he purchased his first vineyard and began his journey as a winemaker. His success led to the founding of his own négoce business in 2007 sourcing grapes from other growers.
