This Saumur Blanc Clos de la Rue reveals a clean and precise style, typical of a well-crafted Chenin. Fermentation with native yeasts, aging in concrete tanks and amphorae, with partial barrel aging, allows the terroir’s mineral tension to fully express itself. The result combines density and liveliness, with a beautiful structure that is never heavy, underscored by an elegant salinity.

Arnaud Lambert
In Brézé and Saint-Cyr-en-Bourg, Arnaud Lambert cultivates limestone terroirs among the most emblematic of the Saumur region. This diversity of soils allows for the exploration of contrasting expressions of Chenin and Cabernet Franc, with particular attention paid to the purity of the profiles and the precision of the balances.
Maturity is rigorously pursued to preserve the fruit's vibrancy and a clean structure. White wines are characterized by a pronounced tension and a precise mineral expression, while reds favor gentle extractions, yielding fine textures and controlled tannins. Aging processes are tailored to each cuvée and vintage, always designed to complement the wine without dictating its style.
The estate's overall work offers a clear and refined interpretation of these Loire terroirs, with cuvées crafted with accuracy, precision, and the ability to faithfully convey their origin.
