They’ve farmed organically from the very start, and in 2005 converted the estate to Biodynamics. Winemaking is simple here – the Clos de Capucin Riesling that comprises “Cuvée Theo” is simply picked at optimal ripeness, pressed into old oak casks where it ferments spontaneously, and aged for a year.

Today, brothers Didier and Michel Lamblin operate from their home base on the northern edge of Maligny, where the region's famous Kimmeridgian soils reach their northernmost point.

This wine showcases fruit from a prized, organically farmed 6.5-acre site rooted in classic Jory volcanic soils and benefitting from the cool, sunlit slopes of Dundee Hills. Grapes are fully destemmed for purity, cold-soaked for 72 hours to extract both color and aroma, and then fermented in small tanks before a 15-month élevage in 30% new French oak—achieving remarkable complexity and polish. In the glass, it shows a shimmering ruby color and a seductive bouquet: sun-warmed strawberry, wild raspberry, blood orange and florals elevated by volcanic minerality. The palate is both juicy and precise, laced with hints of clove, black tea, cacao, and earth, delivering silken tannins and bright acidity, with a long, elegant finish. “Alpine Lakes” is inspired by Pacific Northwest adventure and natural beauty, with winemaking precision drawn from California and Oregon’s top estates.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" class=\"inline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.grapex.com\/national-portfolio\/benmar-wine\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eBenmar is quickly becoming Oregon’s rising star, drawing on Bybee’s years of industry experience and a philosophy built on site selection and minimal intervention.

Delphine's grandfather purchased it in the 1950s from Léon Bourgeois, a United Nations founder and Nobel Peace Prize winner, and planted it entirely to Chardonnay in 1957. The stone walls create a sun trap, coaxing an extra degree of ripeness that neighboring parcels can only dream of.

Based in the Grand Cru village of Cramant, the family has been farming Chardonnay here since the late 19th century, with holdings in Cramant, Chouilly, Oger, and Vertus that read like a roll call of great chalk. The wines are unapologetically classical: long-leased, low-dosage, and built around an almost old-school Côte des Blancs texture rather than simple “aperitif” charm. “Cuvée Signé François” is the family’s insider bottling—a Blanc de Blancs drawn from their oldest vines, named for François Larmandier as a sort of personal signature on what the estate does best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eThe 2012 “Cuvée Signé François” taps into a vintage that growers still talk about in almost hushed tones: low yields, serious structure, and chiseled acidity wrapped around ripe, concentrated fruit. Old-vine Chardonnay from deeply chalky Grand Cru parcels gives the wine its core of energy and mineral drive, while the Brut Nature\/Zero dosage elevates every detail—citrus oils, crushed shell, pastry, and a faint, noble oxidative whisper from extended lees aging. This isn’t meant to be “cute” Champagne; it’s a deeply vinous, terroir-first expression that feels closer to great white Burgundy with bubbles than to a generic glass of fizz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eOld-vine Grand Cru Chardonnay, zero dosage, and a serious vintage combine for a wine that’s both laser-precise and texturally deep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eVibrant flavor profile of lemon curd, green apple, and toasted brioche over a long, chalky, saline finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eAn insider’s cuvée: grower-made, terroir-driven, and quietly world-class without the big-house markup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to serve it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eServe it cool but not fridge-cold (around 48–50°F) in a white wine or small Burgundy stem, not a narrow flute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eGive it a few slow turns in the glass or even a brief carafe if it’s just been popped—this has structure and wants a little air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003ePut it next to oysters, caviar, tempura, or a simple roast chicken with pan jus, and let the chalk and zero dosage do the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44837359157302,"sku":"SOMM2602-GLA12CHA-750","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2012ChampagneGuyLarmandierCuveeSigneFrancois-VieillesVignesGrandCruBlancdeBlancsBrutZero_1.png?v=1771972881"},{"product_id":"2023-franck-balthazar-cornas-cuv-e-casimirsomm2602-fbzr23crncsmr-750","title":"2023 Franck Balthazar, Cornas \"Cuvée Casimir\"","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFranck Balthazar is the man currently holding the keys to the Northern Rhône’s most historic dirt, and for the collector community, this is the moment we’ve been waiting for.
