Anecdotes about the domain
You are not born a winegrower, you are interested in it, you come back to the earth through family ties and then year after year the passion takes hold of you or not. The passion is there when only the taste for quality, the precision in the expression of the Terroirs becomes your only objective. There is no longer a border between private and public life. Your profession becomes a whole. For me, the passion came quite quickly and I started to imagine my style of wine, my purity. It's also my luck, I didn't have a guru, I discovered my way alone. Sometimes it is true that Charly Foucault brought me light on this path in a very delicate way. Jean-Louis Foucault, known as "Charly" is one of the two winegrower brothers of the famous Clos Rougeard.
The domain's short story
I have been making wine for 11 years. Between 2005 and 2010 I cultivated the vineyard and made wine. In 2011 the terroirs on which I had been working for 6 years revealed themselves to me. Specific terroirs for the whites in Brézé as well as in Saint-Cyr en bourg were what presented themselves to me. So I totally changed my approach to the vine, the plant and especially my wine making. The wines became reds as well as whites more refined, more precise with very elegant finishes.
The winemaker's pride
The Domaine was created by Yves Lambert (my father) in 1996 with this concern from the beginning to express the best of the Terroir of Saint-Cyr en bourg in the heart of the Saumur Champigny appellation whether in Cabernet Franc or Chenin.I began my career as a winemaker in 2005 pursuing this qualitative objective.Organic farming in 2009 and approved since 2012 and resumption of 8 very nice Clos in Brézé in 2009 to extend this expression of Terroirs to Brézé. Today the estate is composed of 15ha of parcels on the communes of Saint-Cyr en bourg and 15 ha of Clos in Brézé.
