This Cabernet Franc, grown in the sandy-loam and limestone soils of Brézé, is the product of rigorous organic viticulture. The grapes, entirely destemmed, ferment with indigenous yeasts, and its structure is refined by aging in barrels, half of which are 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.

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.
