Jérôme Lambert - Champs-Sur-Layon - Anjou
2013 - ”Un Brin Gourmand” - Chenin Blanc
The process for this white is, pressing the grapes, fermentation in tanks on the wild yeast and bottling after 18 months on old barrels.

Soil: Schist
Nose: Really amazing flavors of rhubarbs, dusty road and dry grass.
Mouth: Mature but still green, with a hint of nettles, litchi and minerals. Amazing acidity and it feels really fresh in the mouth.
Food: I would like to serve it with weal, creamy salsify, fresh potatoes, and chervil.

A salesman in in his former life and started to work in the vineyards 2003 with Philippe Cesbron, in the same time he started to make wine by his own with grapes that were leftover. He started to make one barrel and now after 16 years he has 4 hectares. The first year he was adding sulfites but he didn’t like the taste so after that he vinifies without. Jérôme makes 4 maybe 5 different cuvées of Gamay, Grolleau and Chenin Blanc. He also takes care of his farm where he raise pigs, sheep and chicken for he and his family.
