Lancelot Fils - Réserve "Le Fer de Lance" (Demi)

The signature cuvée of Lancelot Fils and the gateway to the house, a perpetual reserve Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs assembled from Chardonnay across four communes: Cramant, Chouilly, Villeneuve and Épernay. Two thirds of the 2020 harvest, deepened by one third of reserve wines dating back to 2017. Bottled in 2021. The philosophy of the house is clear from the very first cuvée: HVE-certified viticulture, ancestral methods, minimal intervention. Awarded the Special Jury Prize at the Concours des Jeunes Talents du Champagne 2022 and a Silver Medal at the Concours des Vignerons Indépendants 2023.

Tasting notes: Fresh, precise and mineral, the Côte des Blancs character of Chardonnay expressed across four terroirs. Citrus and white fruit on the nose, a clean and lively attack on the palate, with the low dosage keeping the finish taut and saline.

Food pairing: Versatile and food-friendly. Ideal as an aperitif, with fine oysters, shellfish, delicate fish and light starters.
