Crémant de Loire Brut Arnaud Lambert

The wine

This elegant Crémant de Loire is a skilful blend of 90% Chenin Blanc and 10% Chardonnay. The vines, averaging 35 years old, flourish on loamy, clay-sandy soils, yielding around 50 hectolitres per hectare. Harvesting is entirely by hand and the estate has been committed to organic and biodynamic viticulture since 2009, tending its every vine with the utmost care.
After picking, vinification follows the traditional method in the winery, with ageing on laths for approximately 24 months depending on the vintage. The dosage is deliberately low, with only four to six grams of residual sugar per litre.
To enjoy its full aromatic expression, serve this Crémant well chilled – between six and eight degrees – as an elegant companion to an apéritif with finger foods, cheese gougères, or a seafood platter. Enjoy your tasting experience!

About the Producer Arnaud Lambert

A true nature lover, Arnaud Lambert manages his domain using methods which are extremely respectful of nature. So, he converted his domain to organic agriculture and subsequently to biodynamic agriculture. Arnaud Lambert inherited this domain from his father Yves who created it in 1996. He returned to the domain at the age of 47 to learn the art of wine making and take up the reins.
Today there are 15 hectares of vines in St-Cyr-en-Bourg and 15 hectares in Brézé. Embracing his vintner vocation in 2005, Arnaud Lambert has begun to stand out, producing wines reputed for their finesse, purity, and precision.
This is a top pick for the Bettane+Desseauve Guide who placed this domain in their Top 100 producers of 2019. Their review begins with the words ‘Arnaud Lambert is one of the Loire's most talented wine makers'…We'll say no more, except that this domain is becoming a regional reference, so you'd do well to taste its superb cuvées!
