With a 24-month maturation, Arnaud Lambert has made a beautifully round Chenin cuvée. More info

This single-parcel cuvée by Arnaud Lambert is a very exacting definition of Saumur’s Chenin. Very aromatic and particularly concentrated with white fruit, it will delight you with its freshness. The Chenin vines are around 70 years old and grow in a clay-sand terroir. The grapes are picked by hand and there is a careful sorting process in the winery. The vinifications are traditional, followed by a long maturation of 24 months in French oak casks. You can keep this wine for around 15 years and it will only get better, developing delicious honey notes. Looking for a pairing idea? This cuvée will go really well with a lamb curry!

Saumur Saint-Cyr en Bourg Arnaud Lambert serve at a temperature of 12°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Truite au beurre blanc, Brochet au four, Bisque de langoustine.

    Information about domain 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!
