Description:
We recently received our first shipment from Anjou vigneron Jérôme Lambert in a number of years and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Jérôme is without question one of very favourite winemakers, not just in the Loire but in all of France.
Jérôme farms a number of his own parcels in and around Rablay-sur-Loire, primarily planted to chenin blanc, grolleau and gamay. In a fashion which is typical of the area, the chenin is planted over schist and is deep and mineral, while the reds grow on sandier soil and are wonderfully lifted and aromatic as a result. The winemaking is simple however the fruit selection is beyond rigorous. No oak is used in the winery and the wines have incredible purity and primary detail.
De L’Air is Jérôme’s sparkling chenin blanc, which in 2018 he vinified with a kiss of residual sugar. Tasting today, there’s a gentle and nicely integrated whisper of sweetness to a golden, mineral fruit, which offsets the wine’s electric varietal acidity, makes it a wonderful accompaniment to a range of dishes, and makes the wine simply irresistible. We’re thrilled to have this back in stock!
