Arnaud Lambert Saumur Perrieres Blanc 2020

"One of the most talented winemakers in the Loire - he farms his 40 hectares in a method close to biodynamic. His whole range of wines have drive, and are regularly among the best wines in and around Saumur. The whites have remarkable finesse and are extremely delicate. Also, they are chenins that are agreeable young, which is sufficiently rare as to be emphasized. His reds are at the same level. Good vine age counts for a lot, his talent just as much. A benchmark winery!" - Bettane & Dessauve 2019 - Top 100 Producers of France

From vines averaging 65 year old on silt soil over limestone. Vinified with indigenous yeast after separating free run and press juices and aged in a combination of older foudres and barrels. Bottled late March and shows very immediate lifted fruit on the aromas and palate. Very clear expression of fruit with building intensity and very good length and shape on the palate. Arnaud describes that he is looking for wines that show no oxidation that are clean and pure.
