Nicolas was a jazz and blues pianist until he was twenty-two at which age he swapped scales for secateurs. He studied winemaking and viticulture at Montreuil then supplemented those studies with more at Bordeaux. He now farms 5.5ha of cabernet franc, chenin blanc and grolleau at his estate, Clos de Treilles.
Immensely elegant and filigreed cabernet franc from one of the masters of the grape. Forest fruits are framed by a cool, iodine minerality and propelled by herbaceous inflections in a quintessential Loire cab franc of smack-bang medium-bodied proportion.
