Arnaud Lambert Saumur Champigny Montees Des Roches 2020 Size::1 Bottle Grapes from our old vinesFrom vines averaging 35 years old facing east on red silty clay soil over limestone bedrock. 100% destemmed and fermented with indigenous yeast in tank after separating free run and press juices with no SO2 for ageing and just 1 mg SO2 at bottling after 12 months ageing in older barrels before blending in tank and ageing for another 6 months.
