Comments on this

Domaine Arnaud Lambert Saumur Champigny "Montée des Roches" red 2021:

Guide RVF des Meilleurs Vins de France 2025 (August 2024): 92/100. Montée des Roches needs air to release its finely extracted, enveloping flesh, endowed with a depth of flavors.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Y. Castaing, June 2024): 90/100. Crafted from vines planted in the communes of St-Cyr-en-Bourg and Montsoreau, the 2021 Montée des Roches exhales a deep, floral bouquet of dark blue berries, violet, iris, and licorice. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids, and powdery tannins that segue into firm, structuring tannins and a carnal aftertaste, a sign of Brettanomyces. DRINK DATE 2024-2030.
