Saumur-Champigny | Rouge | 2023

With its 45-year-old vines rooted in sandy-clay loam over limestone, this wine is the result of traditional vinification in tanks. The 12-month aging process, alternating between barrels that have held two to three vintages and a concrete egg, gives this wine remarkable complexity and texture.

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.
