Champagne Philippe Lancelot Les Hauts d’Epernay Extra Cuvee Brut Nature Grand Cru 2019

Philippe Lancelot ‘Les Hauts d’Epernay’ Extra Cuvée 2019 channels fourth‑generation grower heritage from Cramant, focusing on high, chalk‑rich slopes above Épernay that historically deliver tension, lift, and pristine fruit purity. Hand‑harvested Chardonnay leads the blend, with a judicious touch of Pinot for breadth. Grapes are gently pressed, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and matured on fine lees for texture and nuance; an extra‑brut dosage keeps the vintage’s energy vivid while letting terroir detail shine.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of lemon zest, white blossom, pear, and crushed chalk open to layers of green apple, quince, and almond cream. The palate is precise yet generous, carried by a fine, persistent mousse and racy acidity into a long, saline‑mineral finish that’s both elegant and refreshing.

Why Try This Champagne

A terroir‑first Champagne from family‑held parcels, it marries high‑slope chalk, low‑dosage clarity, and extended lees aging to deliver Grand Cru finesse without grandstanding—ideal for aperitif, seafood pairings, and discerning buyers seeking authenticity.
