François Boulanger heads-up a family domaine that controls some 45-hectares, 25 hectares of which are classified as Muscadet. The balance covers a range of varietal IGP and Vin de France wines, plus there is a négociant business which provides the business with some other domaine-bottled Muscadet as well as additional appellations through the Loire.
The Gamay is planted on a slope of pure mica-schist. Mineral and taut, this is not some mild-mannered Beaujolais alternative. The Cabernet Franc is also planted on schist-based soils, giving the wine a notable gravelly texture, yet manages to retain freshness, fruit and varietal definition.
Domaine du Moulin Camus Cabernet Franc 2020
Vol- 75cl
Like its partner, the Gamay, this Cabernet Franc has a bit of attitude: punchy flavours of blackcurrant, leafy tobacco notes with a soft, plush palate. The vineyards are in and around Muscadet, not an area known for this grape variety, but nonetheless, with this example it is extremely successful. The vines are planted on schist-based soils, giving the wine a notable gravelly texture, yet managing to retain freshness, fruit and varietal definition.
