Region: Loire Valley (Vin de France), France
Grapes: Cabernet Franc (Vinified as a white wine)
Body: Light to Medium
Notes: White peach, green apple, lime zest, herbal hints, saline edge, electric acidity, textural
Pairing: Seafood, pork dishes, soft cheeses, light pasta dishes
Nicolas Réau is a seminal figure in the French natural wine movement, and his "Attention" Cabernet Blanc is a testament to his creative, minimal-intervention approach. This fascinating wine is actually a "Blanc de Noirs"—a white wine made entirely from 100% red Cabernet Franc grapes. Farmed biodynamically and fermented spontaneously with native yeasts, the juice is pressed off the dark skins immediately to keep its light color. It offers an electric, textural palate with lifted notes of green apple, white peach, lime zest, and a distinct, savory saline edge that practically begs for fresh seafood.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
