Jerome Lambert Zudefruit Grolleau 2022

Country: France

Region: Loire

Type: Red Wine

Grape: Grolleau

Jérôme Lambert farms four and a half hectares spread across small parcels in Thouarcé, Faye d’Anjou, Rablay-sur-Layon and Champ-sur-Layon. He has worked organically from the outset and has been making wine without any additions for several decades.

He is best known for producing beautifully pure Chenin Blanc from three parcels of old vines planted over schist, but he also farms a little Grolleau planted over sandy loam, which produces an easygoing, joyful expression of the grape.

Grolleau from fifty five year old vines planted over sandy loam. The grapes fermented as whole bunches for eleven days before being pressed to vats until the end of spring. From a cooler year, it is light, bright, and heady with varietal notes of berries, earth and spice. Serve chilled.
