Producer Notes from The Source Imports:

“Arnaud Lambert established his eponymous domaine in 2017 with the merger of his family’s Domaine de Saint-Just and the rented parcels from Château de Brézé. He farms more than 40 hectares of organic vineyards in Saumur’s continental climate with unusually dry conditions due to the rain shadow effect of the Massif Armoricain. In this part of the “Anjou Blanc,” the vineyards are on tuffeau limestone bedrock with topsoil variations of clay and sand. Still wines from Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc are vinified and aged in variations of steel, concrete, and small and large wooden vats without added sulfites until bottling."

About the cuvee:

"Only 35 centimeters of sand and clay sit above the tuffeau limestone of the Clos Mazurique. Scattered on the topsoil are orange silex stones (deposited thousands of years ago by flooding) helps to keep the heat into the summer nights. The cooler winds on this west-facing vineyard keep the temperature low, one of the many reasons why this wine is straight and mineral.

Vinified completely destemmed in concrete tanks with 2/3 of short maceration for 8-10 days (first 3-4 days, twice per day, then once per day), 1/3 with three weeks with infusion extraction (after first 3 days no more extractions). Maximum of 24°C fermentation temperature. Sulfites added only at bottling. Aged in concrete with sometimes 2-3 rackings. Two bottlings: April and June."
