ALEXANDRE LAMBLOT (Janvry)
Alexandre Lamblot has learned from the very best (notably Jérôme Prévost at La Closerie) and is now on his own, absolutely obsessed with environmental friendliness and precision. At Lamblot, you will not find a single aspect that is not environmentally friendly—he even closes his cardboard boxes with rivets and employs the most up-to-date vineyard techniques, including non-personal caterpillars. This is truly unique.
The range at Lamblot is so wide that it’s easy to lose track. He loves to separate every single plot and grape variety, resulting in only one barrel per kind, which is roughly 300 bottles. His so-called entry ranges are Mouvance and Intuition Nature, which, in contrast to all his other cuvées, are blends or even field blends (where different grape varieties are harvested and pressed together).
Alexandre has a traditional 2-ton press and loves to operate it very slowly and gently, relying only on the hectoliters. He stops the press to taste the juice, splitting the cuvée into A and B, as there are significant differences. There is a lot of extra manual labor involved at every step.
If you’d like to taste and compare, Côte Chérie comes from Gueux and is 100% Meunier. What better option than to pair it with Les Béguines(Meunier from Gueux) from Jérôme Prévost for a teacher-and-student battle?
