This Cabernet Franc is made from 45-year-old vines rooted in clay-limestone soil. The winemaking process is entirely natural, with no added yeasts or oenological additives, followed by four months of aging in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit’s freshness. Its purple hue and delicately spicy nose with notes of blackcurrant and menthol reflect a traditional approach that highlights the grape variety’s finesse and purity.

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.
