Domaine Arnaud Lambert Saumur Blanc 'Midi'

Arnaud Lambert is undoubtedly one of the rising stars of the Loire. What’s most incredible about Arnaud is his ability to churn out such quality with nearly twenty different cuvées rendered from more than forty hectares of vineyards; although this is a lot, all of his wines seem like they’ve come from a domaine with no more than five hectares.

His Midi comes from a cool spot on the famed hill of Breze, and it bears the freshness of a young Sancerre, the soft richness of Chablis, but with the unmistakable charm of Chenin Blanc. Quite mineralic and discreet on the nose, with temperature and aeration, it opens up to reveal notes of honey, dried tropical fruits, herbal tea, and mineral. Beautiful white wine!
