First Impressions
Alexandre Lamblot 'Intuition' Champagne 2019 Brut Nature arrives at £82.95 for 75cl, and at this price point, expectations are rightly elevated. This wine is driven by Pinot Meunier, offering a beautiful core of bright fruit, complemented by delicate floral notes and subtle hints of pear blossom and red cherry.
France's winemaking heritage needs no introduction, but the best producers continue to find new ways to express their terroir while honouring centuries of tradition. Alexandre Lamblot is a name worth knowing in this context.
On the Nose and Palate
The nose offers fine and persistent mousse releasing aromas of brioche, toasted almond, and citrus blossom. Moving to the palate, the wine is creamy mousse with a precise palate of citrus, brioche, and toasted almond, balanced by fine chalky acidity. The finish is exceptionally long with a trail of citrus, toasted bread, and chalky minerality.
Food Pairing and Serving
Equally at home as an aperitif or alongside seafood, sushi, or delicate canapes. Serve at 8–10°C in proper flutes or, better yet, white wine glasses to appreciate the full bouquet.
The Verdict
Alexandre Lamblot 'Intuition' Champagne 2019 Brut Nature earns a well-deserved 8 out of 10. This is an outstanding champagne that delivers Pinot Meunier with genuine conviction and craft. At £82.95, this sits in premium territory, and it delivers the quality to match. Whether you're building a cellar or simply looking for something excellent to drink tonight, this bottle earns its place.
