Pascal Lambert

Loire Cabernet Franc from Touraine's cool-climate terroir.

Pascal Lambert works in Touraine, the heart of the Middle Loire Valley, where Cabernet Franc thrives in cool-climate conditions. The winery's portfolio centers on this signature grape, which finds expression across multiple cuvées. Chêne Vert and Harmonie Chinon represent the upper range of the lineup, both Cabernet Franc–based wines that have drawn attention from Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator. La Croix Boissée Chinon rounds out the core offerings. Cabernet Franc from this region typically shows bright red fruit, mineral tension, and structured tannins—qualities that reflect Touraine's slate and clay soils and continental influences. The wines demonstrate the Loire's characteristic balance between ripeness and acidity, a hallmark of northern French viticulture.
