Made using traditional methods in vats, this Cabernet Franc is cultivated on sandy-loam and limestone soils with 25-year-old vines. Six months of aging in second-fill barrels adds a subtle touch, free from oenological artifice, revealing the purity and natural expression of the grape variety. The wine displays a remarkable structure combined with a silky texture, allowing the finesse and unique character of its terroir to shine through.

Arnaud Lambert
In Brézé and Saint-Cyr-en-Bourg, Arnaud Lambert works some of the most emblematic limestone terroirs of the Saumur region. This diversity of soils allows him to explore contrasting expressions of Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc, with particular attention paid to the purity of the profiles and the precision of the balance.
The grapes are rigorously ripened to preserve the fruit's vibrancy and a clean structure. The white wines are distinguished by a marked tension and a precise mineral expression, while the reds favor gentle extractions, resulting in fine textures and well-integrated tannins. Aging is tailored to each cuvée and vintage, always designed to complement the wine without influencing its style.
The entire body of work from the estate offers a clear and refined interpretation of these Loire Valley terroirs, with wines built on accuracy, precision and the ability to faithfully translate their origin.
