Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Given the challenges of the year, Lamblot opted to release what would have been his 2017-base 'Intuition Nature' under the one-off NV Brut Nature Mouvance 17 label. Disgorged without dosage in December 2020, it's a Pinot-dominant blend that wafts from the glass with aromas of honeyed yellow orchard fruit, white flowers, mandarin oil and beeswax. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's textural but precise, with tangy acids and a chalky finish. The base vintage makes its presence felt in a high-toned edge on the nose, but that doesn't dominate.

Description
A. Lamblot's Champagne Mouvance is the result of a balanced blend of the three classic grape varieties authorised in the region: Chardonnay (33%), Pinot Noir (33%) and Meunier (34%). These grapes are harvested from the best plots of old vines near the villages of Vrigny and Chenay.
Winemaking
Vinification is carried out in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation is not sought, and the wine spends more than 2 years on its own yeasts before manual racking and disgorgement is carried out completely à la volée. No final dosage is added, making it a harmonious and balanced Champagne d'assemblage.
Taste
Sweet and fruit-driven, the bouquet reveals generous hints of wax, stewed fruit and quince. The attack on the palate is frank and direct, then the generosity of candied fruit returns with notes of almondy pear. The freshness of Champagne chalk comes through with hints of zest and orange peel. The length on the palate is impressive with a light saline touch.
