Wood smoke and earthy spice lead, with bacon fat adding richness to the mid-palate. The alluvial soils show in mineral undertones, though concentration feels modest for the site. Tannins have softened nicely, making this approachable now.

Arnaud Lambert

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.
