It’s no easy task to be one of the most important producers in the coveted Saumur wines regions of Brézé and Saint-Cyr-En-Bourg, but Arnaud Lambert makes it look easy. While the famous and infamously expensive Clos Rougeard’s cult classic blanc comes from Brézé, Lambert offers us access to this special place without the $150+ entry fee.
 
Brézé is geologically diverse, but characterized by the airy limestone that dots the finest vineyards in this part of the Loire. The wines, therefore, have a mineral-edge and delicate tone to them that’s unique.
 
By contrast, Saint-Cyr-En-Bourg has more clay in the topsoil, which produces wines of more overt power and structure.

Ulysses
 

You’ve heard of Christian Moueix’s Petrus, an illustrious Bordeaux domaine in Pomerol, and Dominus, a multi-award-winning Cabernet, but are you familiar with his Oakville estate that’s just as adored by critics? Ulysses is a single vineyard owned by Christian Moueix located in Oakville at the foot of the Mayacamas Mountain Range. Just like Dominus, the Ulysses vineyard is organically farmed with no irrigation, no small feat given climate change.

We’ve secured an allotment of the 2019 arriving Tuesday, but as you can expect quantities are in short supply. Secure you allotment before someone else does…
