    Winemaker Notes

    Nice ruby and bluish colour. Fresh red fruits and fine mineral flavors, lively in mouth with fine tannins.

    Serve at 60° with Peking duck, monkfish with red wine and small onions. A raspberry and red currant dessert.

    Nau Freres Winery Image
    Our vineyard is 49 acres in size, in different parcels, all on slopes facing the Loire River, are entirely composed of Cabernet Franc vines.

    The climate, as well as the soil, mark and inform each vintage and we believe our job is to understand and try to exoress these yearly differences that nature gives to us through the wines.

    We arvest by hand, with no external yeasts added.

    For our cuvée "Les Blottières" the age of the vines are from 15 up to 40 years old.

    Our cuvée "Vieilles Vignes" comes from clay-chalky slopes with vines that are 45 up to 75 years old.

    The wine stays in concrete vats for clarifying and is slightly filtered before bottling. No oak is used in any aspect of the winemaking.

    We are three brothers that keep alive the wine activity of the family. We represent the sixth generation of the family.

    Cabernet Franc, a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon, is the subtler and more delicate of the Cabernets. Today Cabernet Franc produces outstanding single varietal wines across the wine-producing world. Somm Secret—One of California's best-kept secrets is the Happy Canyon appellation of Santa Barbara. Here Cabernet Franc shines as a single varietal wine or in blends, expressing sumptuous fruit, savory aromas and polished tannins.

    Praised for its stately Renaissance-era chateaux, the picturesque Loire valley produces pleasant wines of just about every style. Just south of Paris, the appellation lies along the river of the same name and stretches from the Atlantic coast to the center of France.

    The Loire can be divided into three main growing areas, from west to east: the Lower Loire, Middle Loire, and Upper/Central Loire. The Pay Nantais region of the Lower Loire—farthest west and closest to the Atlantic—has a maritime climate and focuses on the Melon de Bourgogne variety, which makes refreshing, crisp, aromatic whites.

    The Middle Loire contains Anjou, Saumur and Touraine. In Anjou, Chenin Blanc produces some of, if not the most, outstanding dry and sweet wines with a sleek, mineral edge and characteristics of crisp apple, pear and honeysuckle. Cabernet Franc dominates red and rosé production here, supported often by Grolleau and Cabernet Sauvignon. Sparkling Crémant de Loire is a specialty of Saumur. Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc are common in Touraine as well, along with Sauvignon Blanc, Gamay and Malbec (known locally as Côt).

    The Upper Loire, with a warm, continental climate, is Sauvignon Blanc country, home to the world-renowned appellations of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. Pinot Noir and Gamay produce bright, easy-drinking red wines here.
