Arnaud Lambert, Saumur Blanc

Tasting Notes

Domaine Arnaud Lambert is one of the leading names driving a quality revolution in the Saumur and Saumur-Champigny appellations of France’s Loire Valley. Working primarily with Chenin Blanc for his white wines, Lambert treats his vineyards like a Burgundian winemaker would treat Chardonnay parcels. He focuses on isolating single vineyards (mostly walled “clos”) to highlight individual terroir, mineral tension, and driving acidity.

All his vineyards have been certified organic since 2012, and the estate has since adopted biodynamic farming practices. His white wines are highly regarded for their precise, bone-dry profile and crisp, limestone-driven mineral core.
