Patrick Lambert's vines are situated in Cravant-les-Coteaux, 8 km from the town of Chinon where arguably the best wines of the Chinon appellation originate. He cultivates 6.5 hectares and today is classified entirely organic. His reds are classic Chinon. They beautifully celebrate the full fruit and deep texture of cabernet franc and along with his marvellous rosé demonstrate a light hand that allows his wines to develop their own unique character.
750 mlDomaine du Fossile is the new name for Domaine Patrick Lambert in Chinon, under new owners Moira Smullen and Chris Marshall. This beautiful Chinon is from 65 to 70-year-old vines in sandy clay soils over limestone in Sonnay, near Cravant. The wine ages for 18 months in old barrels, less than 200 cases are made. The 2019 Ame D'Antan shows a deep black/garnet color with elegant aromas of ripe black raspberry and red currant with hints of violet, prune, citrus and crushed stone. The palate is dense but bright, with a silky texture, showing earthy, ripe strawberry confit with black raspberry and licorice with firm mineral acidity, a bit less forward than the 2018. Good length with lingering berry and mineral flavors. Delicious now, it will age beautifully, probably best 2028 to 2040+
