We had a very good visit to the Nau Frères' Portes Ouvertes on Friday tasting wines from 2010 back to 1996. Nau Frères are based in Ingrandes-en-Touraine and the current set-up was established in 1989 when the families combined their vineyards under Patrice and Bertrand Nau along with their brother-in-law, Abel Osorio.
We started with easy drinking 2010 Rosé with its light red fruits and made from one third immediately pressed juice and two thirds saignée. Then onto the ripe and very drinkable 2010 Les Varennes with its sweet black fruits – a real cuvée printemps.
