Arnaud Lambert - Clos Mazurique, Saumur-Champigny, Loire, France (2021)

TASTING NOTES

Very perfumed with red and dark cherry, persimmon, mandarin orange, roses and honeysuckle, gravel, wet forest leaves and minerals. Precise definition, svelte, and energetic - highly complex!

This wine is 100% Cabernet Franc from a 3.7 ha west facing site on silty clay over Turonian limestone on the southern side of Brézé planted in 1990.

100% de-stemmed and fermented with partial whole berries with indigenous yeast in concrete tank for 5 months with a very gentle maceration using infusion and no pump overs. Very expressive and perfumed and made in pure juicy and early drinking style. Very fresh and fine with lovely light texture and very little tannin this is a perfect wine for spring and summer and early drinking. Super attractive and great drinking and refreshment even in the warmer months. Bottled un-fined and unfiltered.
