Domaine Arnaud Lambert
Brézé Cuvee Viticole Saumur Chenin Blanc
Saumur, Anjou-Saumur, Loire Valley, France
First glass was toeing the line with VA then it settled down nicely. bone dry, high acid, extreme minerality with typical complex chenin markers: lime, apples, honey. Really delicious but this needs an hour or two of aeration minimum. These wines take forever in the cellar. 2018 just entering drinkability. Aside: The tasting notes on this wine are full of trendy NYC somms drinking this on release and giving it middling scores 😬
