This Cabernet Franc, grown on the clay-limestone soils of Brézé, is the result of meticulous organic viticulture. The grapes, fully destemmed, ferment using indigenous yeasts, and its structure is refined through barrel aging, half of which is in new oak. A final blending in stainless steel tanks ensures perfect harmony of flavors. This meticulous process highlights the finesse and richness of this terroir-driven wine.

Our Review of the Cuvée
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.
