Arnaud Lambert Saumur-Champigny Terres Rouges 2023 PURYEARSALE Arroyo del Tortolas comes fromSaumur 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.

Lambert farms organically across more than 40 hectares in Saumur
