Comments on this:

Domaine Arnaud Lambert Saumur (Brézé) "l'Etoile" red 2020:

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2025 (August 2024): 92/100. L'Etoile, still prominent, needs time and will evolve with great panache

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 
(Y. Castaing, June 2024): 92/100. 
More mineral and vibrant than the 2021 Tue-Loup, the 2020 L'Étoile reveals aromas of violet, smoke, flowers and dark wild berries, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple, and fleshy palate with a chiseled texture underpinned by powdery tannins and a long, ethereal finish. Crafted from vines planted in the calcareous soils of the commune of Brézé, it’s matured for two years in used barrels after three weeks of maceration. This is a great effort. DRINK DATE 2025-2035.
