Our Review of the Cuvée
From the very first glance, the deep garnet color with purple highlights captivates the eye. The nose, decidedly expressive, evokes fresh blackcurrant, blackcurrant leaves, roasted red bell pepper, and a hint of crushed mint. On the palate, the attack is round and full-bodied, offering a rich, velvety texture. Fresh fruit dominates, accompanied by spicy notes of pepper and hints of mint that bring freshness and vibrancy. The finish is harmonious and indulgent, with lingering flavors of blackcurrant, pepper, cocoa, and mint, delivering a most enjoyable length on the palate.

Arnaud Lambert
Loire | France
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.
