Jérôme Lambert cultivates 4.5 hectares across small, distinct parcels in Thouarcé, Faye d’Anjou, Rablay-sur-Layon and Champ-sur-Layon, focusing on organic viticulture and decades of additive-free winemaking. A leading natural winemaker in the Loire—and widely respected across France—Jérôme combines meticulous fruit selection with minimal intervention to produce wines that express place and purity.
His vineyards around Rablay-sur-Loire are planted mainly to Chenin Blanc, Grolleau and Gamay. Typical of the region, the Chenin thrives on schist soils, producing wines with depth, mineral tension and vibrant acidity. The red varieties are planted on sandier soils, yielding lifted, aromatic wines with delicate texture and clarity.
Winemaking at Jérôme’s domaine is deliberately simple: rigorous selection in the vineyard, no oak aging and no technological additions in the cellar. The result is exceptional primary fruit expression, transparency of terroir and wines with striking purity and detail.
L’air de Rien, Jérôme’s sparkling rosé, is crafted from a blend of red varieties grown on sandy soils, delivering bright aromatics, saline freshness and the light, aromatic profile that defines his style.
