Arnaud Lambert, Coulée de St-Cyr 2018 Saumur
16.5 ++
Certified organic. Sandy-clay over limestone. 75-year-old vines. Vinified then aged 24 months in barrel (25% new oak).
Initially a little reticent then citrus and pear notes with a hint of wax. Palate solid but settled, the acidity present giving length and drive. Compact in style. Still well within itself so potential to develop further. (JL)
