Lancelot Fils - Millésime 2020 "Le Gros Mont"

A single-plot Grand Cru from one of Cramant's most distinctive lieux-dits: Le Gros Mont, where chalk breaks through the surface, craie affleurante. An exceptional terroir feature that produces wines of extraordinary mineral tension and vertical precision. Vinified in the old way, no malolactic fermentation, 100% stainless steel, to preserve every nuance of the site. A notable detail: 15% of the plot consists of court-noué vines, a leaf-roll virus that reduces yields further and concentrates expression. Just 1,917 bottles and 100 magnums produced from the 2020 harvest. HVE-certified viticulture.

Tasting notes: The nose shows the minerality and chalk that define Le Gros Mont, precise, vertical and intensely focused. Without malolactic fermentation, the natural acidity is preserved in full, giving the wine a laser-like precision and a long, saline mineral finish.

Food pairing: A champagne that demands food. Outstanding with fine oysters on the shell, raw scallops, lobster and noble white fish. Also exceptional as a meditative aperitif for the curious.
