Domaine Arnaud Lambert, 12 Rue de la Prée, 49260 Saint-Just-sur-Dive, Francia
We are located in Saint-Cyr-en-Bourg, in the Loire. An area characterised by sandy and limestone-clay soils, particularly suited to the cultivation of noble grape varieties. This is the birthplace of this interesting classic method sparkling wine, Crémant de Loire Brut Rosé by Arnaud Lambert. The Loire, it should be remembered, is known as ‘the garden of France’. It is an area characterised by an ideal terroir for viticulture thanks to the combination of cool breezes and mineral soils. The Saint-Cyr-en-Bourg area, from which the grapes used for this sparkling wine come, is no exception. Crémant de Loire, this Rosé is made from 100% Cabernet Franc, typical of the Loire region, known for its versatility and ability to express delicate yet deep aromas. Harvesting is manual and only the best bunches are selected, having reached the right level of ripeness. After fermentation, the wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, followed by ageing ‘sur lattes’ (in contact with the yeasts) for at least 24 months. This process gives the finished wine a creamy texture and aromatic complexity. In the glass, this Brut Rosé has an intense pink colour, illuminated by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it releases delicate aromas of strawberry, currant and rose petals, anticipating a fresh and well-balanced sip. The creaminess on the palate makes it particularly pleasant and versatile. Perfect as an aperitif, it pairs beautifully with fish dishes, fresh goat cheeses and even delicate white meat dishes.
Today we find ourselves in the heart of France, where the Loire traces a winding path between vineyards and castles. Here we find Domaine Arnaud Lambert, a winery that, since its foundation in 1996, has embarked on a path to enhance the unique terroirs of Saint-Cyr-en-Bourg and Brézé, in the heart of the Saumur-Champigny appellation. It all began with Yves Lambert, Arnaud's father, who at the age of 47 decided to change his life and return to his roots in the ‘Terres de Saumur’. His ambition? To bring out the best of the terroirs of Saint-Cyr-en-Bourg, working on both Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc. In 2005, Arnaud joined his father, sharing his passion and ideals. Together, they set up an ambitious project: to produce wines that reflect the essence of the terroir, expressing the minerality and complexity of the local soils. In 2009, the turning point: the Domaine de Saint-Just undertook the conversion to organic farming. A choice dictated by the desire to respect the environment and obtain healthy, high-quality grapes. Finally, in 2018, comes the adoption of the principles of biodynamic agriculture, for an even deeper understanding of the rhythms of nature and the interaction between the vineyard and the cosmos.
