While the masses reach for predictable, commercialized Grande Marque Champagnes, true aficionados look to the pure chalk soils of Cramant for ultimate luxury. Crafted by fourth generation oenologist Gilles Lancelot, this spectacular single village \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eMillesimé\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is what insiders call \"Cramant in a bottle\". It is an exceptionally sophisticated, razor sharp masterpiece that completely rejects heavy handed dosing to showcase an unadulterated, haute couture expression of elite Grand Cru Chardonnay.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy It’s Exceptional\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Taste:\u003c\/strong\u003e A diamond bright pale gold pour trailing a continuous stream of microscopic, energetic bubbles. The nose is incredibly complex, opening with intense chalky minerality and white spring flowers, transitioning into candied lemon zest and a comforting whisper of freshly baked brioche. The palate delivers an elite duality, remarkably tense and electric at first, before unfolding with a silky, creamy texture and a deeply mineral, saline finish that goes on forever.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Pedigree:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Chardonnay hand selected from five historic, low yielding family parcels where the ancient vines average over 50 years of age. Fully certified under stringent HVE3 sustainability guidelines, the fruit is vinified exclusively in temperature-controlled stainless steel to shield its hyper focused terroir energy, followed by a massive 60 months of patient, uninterrupted resting in the estate’s deep chalk cellars.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Ritual:\u003c\/strong\u003e A definitive celebratory showpiece tailored for the most demanding epicurean events. Keep it gracefully chilled (10–12°C) to allow its profound structural depth to properly breathe in the glass. While it makes a grand, high octane apéritif, its rich, vinous framework effortlessly pairs with fresh oysters, seared scallops, white fish sashimi accented with yuzu, or a delicate lobster tail dipped in clarified butter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Maker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gilles Lancelot \/ Champagne Lancelot Pienne | \u003cstrong\u003eThe Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cramant Grand Cru, Champagne, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Grape:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Chardonnay (Blanc de Blancs) | \u003cstrong\u003eThe Strength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5% ABV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Exclusivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Village Vintage, 50+ Year Old Vines, Ultra Low 2.25g\/l Brut Dosage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"LEA AND SANDEMAN","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":58248707768668,"sku":"WS01CHA53","price":84.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/6964\/1052\/files\/LancelotPienneMarie.png?v=1783787712","url":"https:\/\/www.wineslut.co.uk\/products\/champagne-lancelot-pienne-cuvee-marie-lancelot-blanc-de-blancs-grand-cru-2017","provider":"WINESLUT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
