Pascal Lambert

Domaine Lambert, founded in 1987, is located at Les Chesnaies in Cravant-les-Coteaux. Cabernet Franc (for red and rosé wines) and Chenin (for white wines) are the two grape varieties grown on the estate. Pascal, the winemaker, cultivates around 25 hectares in Cravant-Les-Coteaux and Chinon. Organic farming has been practiced at the domaine for almost 20 years. Since 2005, the vines have been cultivated biodynamically, without the use of chemicals, in order to rediscover the wine's primary, natural aromas. Vinifying in amphora allows us to use the earth's conserving virtues to preserve the purity of the fruit in the wine, while respecting our terroir. We combine two natural soils: Tuscan clay and the clay or limestone soils of our Chinon plots. The amphora, a natural thermal regulator, creates a new balance between wine and nature. This practice has given rise to the Ligéris Dolium cuvées - vin orange in 2014 and 2015 - and Harmonie, made from Cabernet Franc macerated in amphora.
