The estate and the wine |
|
|
Arnaud Lambert is shaking up the hierarchy of the great winemakers of Loire Valley. On the terroir of Saumur-Brézé, his estate is reshuffling the deck, embodying finesse, elegance, and simplicity.
Leading a domain of 50 hectares, he is establishing himself as one of the most talented vignerons in the region, and his reputation is seriously stirring the circle of grand enthusiasts. With meticulous care in both vineyard and cellar, organic farming practices, and understated labels, everything here exudes excellence and is representative of the best wines from the Saumurois region. |

|
A single-vineyard cuvée, the 2020 Red Saumur-Champigny Montée des Roches is a beautifully concentrated Cabernet Franc, sourced from 45-year-old vines. With its velvety texture, abundant fruit, and subtly integrated oak – a testament to masterfully controlled aging – this wine is both deep and subtle. It is ready to enchant today after decanting, or it can be cellared for another decade. |
