The tasting |
|
|
Ruby red. |
|
|
| |
|
Notes of small black fruits followed by the scent of violets. |
|
|
| |
|
Fine and round. The palate is sublimated by perfectly smooth tannins. This wine, which is very influenced by the deep limestone terroir it comes from, has a lot of delicacy. |

The sommelier's advice |
|
|
Serve slightly chilled between 14 and 16°C in large glasses. Decant 1 hour before serving if necessary. The slight reduction at the opening is a choice of bottling to naturally protect the wine. The decanting allows to erase this reduction. |

The estate and the wine |
|

Arnaud Lambert has made a resounding entry into the intimate circle of great Loire Valley winemakers. On the Saumur-Brézé terroir, his estate was rewarded with two stars in the RVF guide crafts wines of amazing finesse, elegance, and simplicity, bringing a new and highly appreciated winemaking style to the region.
With his meticulous care in the vineyard and in the cellar, his decision to pursue organic farming, and his elegant yet sober labels, he is paving the way to excellence. His style since the 2014 vintage is simply superb, and we salute its tension, finesse, and elegance. |

Still young, the 2019 Red Saumur Clos Tue-Loup displays luscious flavors of black fruit and violet. The palate is of great elegance and class; it is a perfectly mature Cabernet, with delightful notes of graphite and berry. Both dense and very fresh, it combines a straight and refined typical Loire balance with the power of a great red wine. A high-flying plot selection. Noted 93/100 by our Committee! |
