The Producer
Domaine Arnaud Lambert is a distinguished family-run winery nestled in the heart of the Loire Valley’s Saumur and Saumur-Champigny regions, celebrated for their Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc. The estate’s story began in 1996, when Yves Lambert established the family domaine in Saint-Cyr-en-Bourg with a vision to express the unique character of the local soils and climates. His son Arnaud joined the domaine in 2005. Arnaud Lambert, with his qualifications and experience in different wine regions, brought fresh ideas and approach to both the vineyard and cellar.
Over the years, the Lamberts expanded their holdings, and the estate encompasses 40–50 hectares of distinct terroirs today. Organic viticulture and biodynamic practices are embraced. The domaine’s wines are made with minimal intervention and a deep respect for terroir, resulting in expressive, lively wines that showcase the personality of each unique parcel.
