Arnaud Lambert is a rising star from Saumur in the Loire Valley. He is known for his single vineyard Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc, as well as his precise, organic and low intervention wine making. This Cabernet Franc is from the Clos Tue Loup, which sits on the hillsides of Breze. Here the clay and limestone soils provide this wine more power and depth than the typical Loire Valley Cabernet Franc. Allow for a minimum of 2 hours decanting before enjoying this wine. You’ll be rewarded with notes of darker red berries, cloves, nutmeg and earth. The tannins are soft followed by a long finish. Enjoy with tender red meat like fillet mignon finished with rosemary butter.
