Arnaud Lambert Clos Moleton 2009
Red
Saumur, France

WineSaint
Dense and overwrought, with cassis and dark berries buried under aggressive extraction. The tannins grip hard, while elevated alcohol throws the wine off balance. Shows Lambert's heavy-handed early style before he found his voice. An ambitious misfire that explains his later stylistic shift.

→Arnaud Lambert makes some of Saumur's most precise whites and reds from tuffeau-heavy sites around Brézé, with single-vineyard bottlings that reward careful attention to vintage and site.
