Domaine Arnaud Lambert 'David' Saumur Blanc

Arnaud Lambert is undoubtedly one of the rising stars of the Loire. What’s most incredible about Arnaud is his ability to churn out such quality with nearly twenty different cuvées rendered from more than forty hectares of vineyards; although this is a lot, all of his wines seem like they’ve come from a domaine with no more than five hectares.

Lambert's 'David' Blanc is all from Breze, within the larger Saumur appellation. A powerful and complex Chenin, with an introspective and linear character. Green apple, pear, and lemon rind are part of the layered fruit profile here, with expressive notes of crushed chalk, flint, and beeswax. Pressed flowers and cool water show in this wine that really rewards the astute observer.
