A dedicated drinker since the age of eight, when his gramps would sneak him wine behind his granny's back, Nicolas Reau was a professional pianist in training who spent most of his adult life believing winemaking was for people who'd inherited land. Flash forward to 1994 when an ad in the paper led him to leave ivory-tickling behind, and turn to vine-tickling instead! Now one of the Loire's leading lights of natural wine, this is Cab Franc in all its natural glory. Black currants, green peppercorn, dark chocolate, sleek black slatiness, all manner of herbs... this is a bistro red par excellence!
