2021 Arnaud Lambert Breze Clos Mazurique Cabernet Franc

Arnaud Lambert is considered to be one of the most talented winemakers in Loire regularly producing what are amongst the best wines in and around Saumur. Practicing bio-dynamic viticulture and bringing a Burgundian approach to his winemaking, his Cabernet Francs are perfumed, fresh and make for delicious drinking over the warmer months.
Fruit for this wine is sourced from a 3.7 ha west facing site on light silty sand over limestone on the southern side of Brézé. Its 100% destemmed and fermented with partial whole berries with indigenous yeast in concrete tanks with a very gentle maceration using infusion and no pump overs.
Deep black dark red core with a bright purple red hue. Intense spicy red currant aromas infused with violets blossom out of the glass followed by some ripe red cherry, dried herb and earth notes. Delicious red currant and red cherry fruits are complexed by a gentle leafiness, earth and spice. Nicely fleshed and energetic it finishes slightly dryish with fine grained tannins and a long savoury, fresh red fruited aftertaste.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
