Arnaud Lambert Saumur-Champigny Terres Rouges 2023 22BDX making all pre-1997 vintages pureSaumur Champigny is Cabernet Franc's home ground, and this is Arnaud Lambert's classic take on it: three parcels of roughly 45 year old vines near Saint Cyr en Bourg, on gentle west facing slopes at about 70 meters. Under the vines is around 80 centimeters of clay and sand topsoil over white tuffeau limestone, enough depth to give the wine flesh where the thinner Breze sites give cut. Lambert farms organically across more than 40 hectares in Saumur
