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.
2022 Zudefruit comes from grolleau and is as good a rendition of this wine as we’ve ever tasted. It’s silken and polished in structure, with pure and earthen dark red fruit and a wonderful feeling of freshness. This is a serious offering from Jérôme and will be very well suited to the cold nights ahead.
