Domaine Gadais Grande Reserve du Moulin 2022
Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur Lie AOC
Loading...
Christophe Gadais cut his teeth in Sancerre, mastering vibrant, mineral-laced whites. Today he makes fine Muscadet with his son Pierre-Henri at the family estate. This is their top cuvée. Very lemony and crisp, it's sur lie from the Sèvre et Maine.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

The Wine
Wine International magazine decreed, “the revival of Muscadet is coming from growers like Gadais”. Theirs is a 4th-generation estate, run today by father and son, Christophe and Pierre-Henri Gadais. It was founded in 1952 by Louis Gadais – one of the first winemakers in Nantes to bottle his own wines (most was sold to merchants in bulk). La Grande Réserve du Moulin is their top cuvée, using the best bunches of Melon de Bourgogne (the only one permitted in Muscadet) from their vineyards. It’s a fine white aged sur lie, meaning it’s left for months on its fine lees to add subtle creamy complexity to the bright apple, pear and floral flavours. 2022 was an exceptional vintage, with particularly good ripeness. An ace choice with oysters!

Always a favourite white. I love this beautiful well-balanced refreshing Muscadet
