Alexandre Lamblot is the thirteenth generation of his family to farm in the Petite Montagne de Reims, where the Lamblots have grown grapes since the 1600s. He learned the work alongside Jérôme Prévost at La Closerie, and in the mid-2010s began assembling a holding of his own, releasing his first bottles under his own label in 2019. Roughly three and a half hectares are scattered across Vrigny, Chenay, Janvry and Gueux, farmed organically since 2021 and pushed well past what the certification requires: a mobile chicken coop moves through the parcels for fertility, some hundred species of tree are planted among the vines, essential oils stand in for heavy spraying, and the shoots are braided by hand through winter. He works from a small cellar in Janvry, pressing slowly and vinifying every fraction on its own with indigenous yeasts in used barrels, then bottling without fining or filtration.
Frénésie is pinot meunier alone, drawn from three parcels of old vines in Vrigny where sand sits over limestone. The vines run between thirty-eight and sixty years of age, and the sand is what gives the village its lifted, open character.
Fermentation happens entirely in 600-liter barrels, malolactic is avoided, and the wine rests more than two years on its lees before it is riddled by hand and disgorged on the fly. Nothing is added at disgorgement. The result is a cascade of poached pear and lemon peel, honeysuckle, toasted almond and a thread of woodsmoke, with bright acidity and a saline, persistent close.
