Catherine and François have a 45-hectare wine estate in Vallet, in the heart of the Muscadet Sèvre et Maine appellation area. Growing Muscadet’s one and only grape variety, Melon, is their passion. They are committed to an approach that respects the soil, the climate and the natural environment. Catherine Boulanger has been running the family estate since 1991. Her father Jean used to manage the vineyard for 30 years. Generosity and energy are qualities we can find in Catherine’s wines (maybe because that’s the way she is too !). Catherine and François grow classic Loire varietals such as Melon de Bourgogne (Muscadet), Gamay, Cabernet Franc, and Sauvignon Blanc, Moulin Camus produces IGP and Vin de France wines along with wines from other Loire appellations.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, pronounced flavours of blackcurrant, raspberry, and leafy tobacco notes. On the palate, those aromas carry through with added fine-grained tannins, and refreshing acidity. Pair with soft cheese, grilled vegetable dishes, or even your favourite pork tenderloin.
Method
The estate is located in the Muscadet region and it is uncommon to see Cabernet Franc planted but François and his team have succeeded in producing delicious Cabernet Franc in a region more commonly associated with white wines. Made from 100% Cabernet Franc, the grapes are planted on schist-based soils. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel and cool temperatures; the wine rests for a period of time in steel prior to bottling and release.
