Arnaud Lambert Saumur Blanc Coulée de Saint-Cyr 2021

Toasted hazelnuts and white peach emerge from barrel fermentation, while lime zest and wet stone provide the mineral backbone. The texture shows impressive weight without losing Chenin's characteristic tension. Partial malolactic softens the vintage's natural austerity, creating a wine that balances richness with driving acidity. Needs three to five years to reach its potential.
