Les Côtes Chéries is a single parcel of Meunier in the village of Gueux, planted in 1984 and bottled Brut Nature, with no dosage. That leaves nothing between you and the grape and the place. This release is built on the 2020 harvest. Alexandre Lamblot farms 3.5 hectares around Vrigny, Chenay, Janvry and Gueux. Some of those vines came down through a family that has grown grapes there since the 1600s, and the rest he rents and farms himself, biodynamically, with a mobile chicken coop to fertilise the vineyards and his vines braided in winter. Jérôme Prévost is the one who pointed his importer his way, and the comparison that followed says a lot about the company these wines keep: Cédric Bouchard's brooding power with Prévost's Meunier complexity. In the cellar he uses native yeasts in mostly used barrels, with no fining or filtration, and he riddles and disgorges by hand. If you still think of Meunier as Champagne's blending workhorse, a single-parcel bottling like this makes the case against that.

More about A. Lamblot

Alexandre Lamblot is the 13th generation of his family making wine and honestly, he's operating like he invented something new. He's got 4 hectares in Montagne de Reims, fertilizes with a mobile chicken coop, braids his vines' shoots to trade heat in winter, and ferments each plot separately in a wooden basket press—all by hand. No sulfites, no fining, no shortcuts. The result? Bone-dry champagnes with real soul, and he's got some serious friends in New York backing him up already.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Oysters on the half shell, crudo or sushi, gougères, fried chicken, or a ripe Chaource or Brie de Meaux. It's also good with a mushroom risotto or roast chicken.

Tasting Profile

Expect the bone-dry, precise profile of a zero-dosage Meunier: red apple, pear and a touch of red berry, with a savoury, bready edge and gentle spice from fermentation in used barrels. Think a leaner, more savoury Blanc de Noirs. It's light-bodied, with bright acidity and a fine, soft mousse, finishing dry, clean and mineral.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
