Domaine Arnaud Lambert Saumur (Brézé) "Tue-Loup" red 2021

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2024 (Sept. 2023) : 92/100. Very appealing, Tue-Loup, ethereal, with beautiful notes of raspberries, carried by slender, elegant, salivating tannins. One to two years in the cellar will do it a world of good.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Y. Castaing, June 2024) : 92/100. The 2021 Tue-Loup is crafted from vines planted on alluvial soils facing west. It possesses a gourmand, fresh bouquet of raspberries, strawberries and violets, followed by a juicy, fresh and long palate with bright acids and seamless texture, concluding with powdery tannins, lovely balance and a delicate, floral finish. It matured for one year in two-thirds used barrels and one-third in egg-shaped concrete tank. DRINK DATE 2025-2035.
