Nicolas Reau Attention Chenin Mechant
Varietal: Chenin Blanc
Bottle Size: 750 mL
Region: France
Light White Wines
Fresh, light and lean. Notes of zesty citrus brighten up the minerality brought by the silty soil where this Chenin grows in the Loire region of France.
This wine comes from 2 separate organically farmed parcels in Anjou from Reau’s former intern. Nicolas Reau was a former concert pianist but fell in love with winemaking and fell deep into the natural wine scene when he married Sylvia Augereau (who runs the La Dive natural wine festival in the Loire.) Nicolas practices Biodynamics but doesn’t seek the certification. Instead, his philosophy is to be guided by conscientious farming so as to produce wines that are clean, distinct and honest.
*Natural and Organic
Staff Review: Clean, crisp, and pure! A bone dry classic expression of chenin with pronounced minerality and balanced acidity. Pair with any salad from The Market!
