2023 Anjou Blanc, Domaine Alexandre Cady

Alexandre Cady is the 4th generation to run this family estate. The Domaine’s 26 hectares include 15 of Chenin Blanc vines planted on some of the finest schist, quartz and carboniferous slopes of St Aubin and Chaume. The estate is certified organic, with maximum concentration ensured by holding yields to between 20 and 35 hectolitres per hectare through a combination of short pruning and spring de-budding. Alex picks the Chenins by hand in successive tris, bringing in grapes at optimum concentration and ripeness. This policy is rewarded with a quality exemplified by both dry and sweet that boast a beautiful balance of delicacy, freshness and richness.
