Cabernet Franc Anjou Rouge 2023 Domaine Cady

Cabernet Franc Anjou AOP 2023

A smooth and vibrant red from the Loire

The 2023 Cabernet Franc Anjou from Domaine Cady is a pure and elegant expression of this classic Loire Valley grape. Made exclusively from hand-harvested Cabernet Franc, it delivers freshness, charm and balance with a natural and minimal-intervention approach.

Natural fermentation, stainless steel aging

After destemming, the grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation at controlled temperature with regular pump-overs. The wine is then aged for 3 to 6 months in stainless steel tanks to preserve its varietal freshness and aromatic finesse.

Red fruits and silky mouthfeel

Bright ruby red in color, the nose offers fresh red fruit aromas—raspberry, cherry and light herbal touches. The palate is round, smooth and juicy, with soft tannins and a silky texture that makes it easy to enjoy. Elegant yet accessible.

Food pairings and aging potential

Perfect with white meats, charcuterie, vegetable tarts or soft cheeses. Can be enjoyed now or aged 3 to 5 years. Serve at 14–16 °C for best expression.

Domaine Cady

Natural rebirth in the heart of Anjou

Domaine Cady is a historic winery based in Saint-Aubin-de-Luigné, in the Loire Valley, and today it stands as one of the most authentic and natural voices in the Anjou region. The Cady family has cultivated vines for generations, deeply connected to the land. Main grape varieties include Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Grolleau, and Gamay, grown on schist and limestone soils that lend freshness and minerality.

The 2021 fire and the move to Rochefort-sur-Loire

In 2021, a devastating fire destroyed the old winery. Refusing to give up, the family responded with strength. In 2022, construction began on a new cellar in Clos du Moulin de Sainte Catherine, located in Rochefort-sur-Loire, where their guesthouse is also located. The project was designed to offer visitors an immersive wine experience, surrounded by vineyards and Loire charm.

Natural wines, local grapes, and spontaneous fermentations

The winemaking philosophy is 100% natural: no synthetic chemicals, hand-harvested grapes, and spontaneous fermentations with native yeasts. Ageing is done in neutral wood, steel or concrete tanks, preserving the purity of the fruit. Wines are unfiltered or lightly clarified, always vibrant and precise. The result is a clean, expressive lineup that speaks clearly of its origin.

Chenin Blanc and more: Anjou elegance in a bottle

Chenin Blanc is the flagship grape of Domaine Cady, vinified in dry, moelleux, and sparkling styles. Red and rosé wines from Cabernet Franc, Grolleau, Gamay, and Pineau d’Aunis complete the picture, all made to be fresh, juicy, and easy to drink. Every wine is a faithful portrait of its vineyard and the hands that crafted it.
