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 Gamay 2022
12.5% abv
Vol- 75cl
This is an unusual red, made from vineyards in the Muscadet region: an area known almost exclusively for white wines, and made with Gamay. This is not, however, some shy and retiring light red that thinks it’s a white. No, this has guts like no other Gamay from this far north. Dense fruits of morello cherries & victoria plums, with a satisfyingly full mid-palate, but none of the rasping acidity you find in less expensive Gamays. This wine has real attitude.
