Arnaud Lambert Saumur Cabernet Franc Red Wine | Clos Mazuriq ue

Arnaud Lambert’s 2020 Cabernet Franc from Saumur’s Brézé hills offers an extraordinary blend of sophistication and approachability at an unbeatable price point. Crafted in France’s Loire Valley using organic and biodynamic practices, this wine captivates with its layered aromas of ripe red cherry, persimmon, and mandarin orange—enhanced by floral notes of jasmine and rose alongside mineral-rich hints of gravelly earth and wet stone.

What sets this Cabernet Franc apart is its striking balance between freshness and depth. While many young reds lean heavily on bold tannins for structure, Brézé’s unique terroir prioritizes crisp acidity amplified by gentle daily pump-overs during fermentation—a technique that preserves its lively energy while softening texture into silky glycerol nuances. The palate feels almost white-wine-like in its finesse yet retains vibrant red fruit intensity before closing with a smooth graphite finish that lingers effortlessly.

Perfect for food pairing or sipping solo, this bottle delivers complexity typically found in higher-priced wines without sacrificing accessibility or eco-conscious values (certified organic/biodynamic). Whether you’re exploring Loire Valley gems or seeking an aromatic red that defies expectations through its mineral-driven elegance—this is a standout choice for discerning palates seeking both quality and value.
