Arnaud Lambert Saumur Brézé “Midi” Chenin Blanc 2023

 Andy Says: "Discovered by one of our savvy customers (thanks Terry!) this wine hails from the famed Brézé Hills in Saumur. It's 100% Chenin Blanc, with just 10% oak contact and no malolactic to preserve razor sharp acid. Think crisp citrus, saline minerality, and a salty edge that lingers on the finish. A Loire white that delivers brightness of Sancerre with the soul of Chenin."

   Arnaud Lambert is one of the leading names in Saumur, crafting precise, terroir-driven wines that showcase the limestone-rich soils of the Loire. Clos du Midi, from a cool, windswept site on the hill of Brézé, is all about freshness and vibrancy. The 2023 vintage leans into that energy, delivering a Chenin Blanc that’s both zippy and beautifully textured. Brézé, a village nestled in the AOC of Saumur, is one of the Loire’s greatest terroirs. Cool climate, tuffeau (limestone) mother rock with clay, sand and limestone topsoils, it has long been considered one of France's greatest white wine sites. Meet Arnaud..............
