Anjou Blanc Clos du Moulin Sainte Catherine, Domaine Cady 2021

White Wine from France - Loire

1 Reviews

Availability of this cuvée is so limited in 2021 that this wine is exclusive to us in the UK, and we offer it for the first time. The vines here are beautifully situated on north-facing slopes overlooking the Loire. The wine was vinified and aged in a large amphora which makes for a dry, very precise, mineral and persistent expression of the grape with an appetising chalkiness.

Domaine Cady

Since 1927, four generations of the Cady family have run this estate, with Alexandre Cady most recently taking over from his father, Philippe.

Situated in the hills of Coteaux du Layon, an appellation by the Layon River in the Loire’s Anjou region, there are 22 hectares under vine. The majority of these are chenin blanc, planted on some of the finest schist, quartz and Varennes stone slopes of Saint-Aubin and Chaume, as well as a chunk of cabernet franc and small amounts of gamay, chardonnay and grolleau.

Grapes are harvested by hand, with the chenin blanc for the Coteaux du Layon undergoing several pickings to select only the ones affected by the right level of noble rot.

In the winery, the grapes are vinified in temperature-controlled glass-lined underground vats for freshness, after which the wine matures on its lees, adding richness and a concentrated creamy texture to the fruity, honeyed character.
