Attention Cabernet Blanc 2024 Clos des Treilles

Attention Cabernet Blanc 2024

Organic Vineyard Philosophy

Clos des Treilles grows its Cabernet Blanc on clay-limestone soils, following strict organic farming methods. The vineyard is managed by hand, with great care for biodiversity and total exclusion of pesticides and synthetic chemicals. These principles guarantee healthy grapes that fully express the Loire’s fresh, vibrant soul.

Natural Winemaking Approach

In the cellar, the approach is minimal intervention: spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in steel tanks. The wine remains on fine lees for a short time to add complexity while preserving freshness and varietal aromas. No unnecessary additives, just a touch of sulfites if needed.

Tasting Notes

In the glass it shows delicate white flower notes and hints of crunchy white peach and citrus zest. The sip is fresh and linear, with vibrant minerality and a clean, thirst-quenching finish.

Clos des Treilles: a return to the land in the heart of Anjou

Clos des Treilles was born from the dream of Nicolas Reau, a visionary winemaker who, after a career as a pianist, chose to leave music behind to fully devote himself to wine. Nestled in the heart of Anjou, within the Loire Valley vineyards, this domaine embodies charm and biodiversity. Nicolas bought his first plots in 1998 and started vinifying in 2002 with a clear goal: to craft pure, uncompromising wines that express the soul of each unique parcel. His working philosophy blends peasant tradition, independent spirit, and an artistic sensitivity that shines through every bottle.

A living vineyard: nature, biodiversity, and absolute respect

Clos des Treilles is run with total respect for nature. Nicolas works with certified organic farming, no herbicides or pesticides, and careful manual labour that protects soil integrity. The vines, rooted in clay-limestone soils, are mainly old plots of Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc, and Gamay, thriving thanks to the Loire’s temperate climate. Biodiversity is safeguarded through hedgerows, wildflowers, and beneficial insects, while yields are kept deliberately low to produce healthy, concentrated grapes that mirror their unique terroir.

In the cellar: no tricks, only time as an ally

In the cellar, the approach is just as radical: natural winemaking, spontaneous fermentations with only native yeasts, no fining or filtration, and minimal to no added sulphur in some cuvées. Nicolas uses steel, concrete, and wood vats, choosing the best vessel for each wine to highlight its true character. The wines are alive, vibrant, sometimes unpredictable but always authentic: they capture Anjou in its purest form, with freshness, minerality, and a drinkability that never fails to charm.
