Lancelot et fils Champagne - Cramant "Le Gros Mont" Grand Cru 2020
What more could chardonnay lovers ask for than a 100% Cramant?
Hubert Lancelot has created a parcel-based cuvée from Cramant, an emblematic village in the Côte des Blancs classified as a Grand Cru. This Chardonnay-legendary terroir produces sharp, mineral wines instantly recognizable.
With a plot of vines perfectly oriented to this village, the temptation was too great for Hubert Lancelot not to offer us a 100% Cramant chardonnay.
Faithful to his philosophy, our winemaker didn't allow for chance in creating this Champagne de terroir.
- Only Chardonnay, to let the grapes express their full potential.
- A single plot, to let the chalky subsoil reveal itself in the wine.
- A vintage cuvée, for there's nothing like a selection from the best year to prove that a wine has its own character.
- Traditional fermentation without malolactic fermentation, to preserve the legendary mineral acidity of the Côte des Blancs.
- A light 2 g/l extra brut dosage, to add finesse to a wine eager to blossom.
A 75cl journey to the heart of the Côte des Blancs.

About champagne Lancelot & sons

Not only is it an essential terroir for wine lovers, but also one of the 5 legendary villages to be classified Grand Cru in the Côte des Blancs, along with Oger, Cramant, Avize and Le Mesnil.
This is where Champagne Lancelot et Fils was established, a family-run business now headed by Hubert Lancelot, a warm-hearted winegrower with a strong personality.
