Arnaud Lambert has 21 hectares, and makes stunning single vineyard whites from Clos du Midi, Clos David and Clos de la Rue. These are precise crystal sharp wines in their youth, with enough snap to shock the tongue, butnstill possess the weight and resonance to expand and slightly soften with age. The reds come from Clos de L’Etoilenand Clos Mazurique. While differences in each vineyard lead to wines of distinctive character, Lambert’s style arcs toward grace. His wines are stripped down and elemental, ripped with acidity and verve. They plug into the electricity of Breze’s limestone soils.’
Rajat Parr, The Sommelier’s Atlas of Taste
100% Cabernet Franc from vines averaging 45 years old planted in red silty clay soil over limestone base with a warmer west facing exposition. 100% destemmed and natural-yeast fermented in stainless steel tanks with partial whole berry inclusion and only 1mg of added SO2. Extraction is by infusion only, without pump-overs or pigeage. Matured in tank for eight months.
Very fleshy and perfumed yet fine. Gives immediate pleasure with ripe expressive red fruits showing very good depth and complexity. Pure pleasure and a joy to drink young. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
