Arnaud Lambert 2018 Clos de la Rue Chenin Blanc – Saumur AOC

Arnaud Lambert Clos de la Rue 2018

Saumur’s Sun-Kissed Chenin Blanc Treasure

Experience the remarkable expression of certified organic Chenin Blanc from the esteemed slopes of Brézé in Saumur, Loire Valley. Crafted by Arnaud Lambert, this 2018 vintage captures the unique warmth of the coveted Clos de la Rue vineyard—a sheltered enclave defying the region’s cool winds to yield grapes of extraordinary concentration.

Why This Wine Stands Apart:
– Microclimate Magic: Nestled on Brézé’s warmest plot, Clos de la Rue enjoys higher temperatures than surrounding sites, translating to ripe, vibrant fruit balanced by Loire freshness.
– Terroir-Driven Complexity: Sandy limestone topsoil (25cm) merges with clay (10cm) atop ancient tuffeau bedrock. This trio gifts the wine striking minerality, textured depth, and a signature limestone backbone.
– Bold Yet Balanced: At 13% alcohol, it delivers a powerful yet elegant profile—think quince, honeycomb, and wet stone—with a structure that commands attention without overwhelming.

Perfect For:
Connoisseurs seeking sophisticated organic white wines with aging potential. Pair richly with roasted poultry, creamy seafood dishes, or aged cheeses. Its distinctive minerality and warmth make it a standout among Saumur whites.
