{"product_id":"a-lamblot-champagne-intuition-brut-nature-nv-2023","title":"A. Lamblot, Champagne Intuition Brut Nature, NV [2023] (Pre-Arrival ETA Early November 2026)","description":"This is the way into one of Champagne's most uncompromising small growers, and it's a Meunier-led blend that only gets made when the Meunier is good enough. In years when it isn't, as in 2017, Alexandre Lamblot skips Intuition and makes a different cuvée. Intuition is his starting cuvée, built from Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grown on the 3.5 hectares he farms around Vrigny, Chenay, Janvry and Gueux in the Petite Montagne de Reims. Some of those vines came down through his family and the rest he rents and farms himself. Jérôme Prévost is the one who tipped off his importer, and the comparison that followed tells you the company these wines keep: Cédric Bouchard's brooding power mixed with Prévost's Meunier complexity. Almost everything is done by hand. Lamblot braids the vines in winter, picks into flat bins that hold the bunches in a single layer, presses slowly in a traditional wooden press, ferments with native yeasts in mostly used barrels, then riddles and disgorges every bottle by hand. His priority is to make the best possible base wine first and add the bubbles as a second dimension. As a Brut Nature, this one has no added sugar to hide behind, and that's exactly why it's worth opening.","brand":"Polaner [POL]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50715825700921,"sku":"NYC-W-POL-`FLM244`-100826-32","price":113.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/template-bottleimg_4d4ba26c-7e3b-415c-9e37-11e113a54fea.jpg?v=1791908833","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/a-lamblot-champagne-intuition-brut-nature-nv-2023","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
