Anjou Rouge « Pompois », Domaine Nicolas Reau 2021
Nicolas Reau
Nicolas was a Jazz and blues pianist until he was 22 at which age he became a winemaker. He had always been passionate about wine, and when he was finding it difficult to earn his living in the music business, he decided on a dramatic career change. He studied winemaking and viticulture at Montreuil and supplemented these studies with more at Bordeaux. He also worked with several local Anjou vignerons to acquire valuable experience. He bought this vineyard in 2002 from another viticulteur. Some years later, in 2007, he founded his own négoce business, buying grapes from other growers, because the 1.3 hectares of vines of his own estate were not producing enough grapes to satisfy demand.
A deep ruby red, it has an elegant peony nose with notes of crushed vine leaves. In the mouth it is supple with a subtle freshness, black fruit flavours, vegetal notes and a delicate finish.
