Description
The freshness and finesse of an Extra Brut champagne
The estate
Founded more than 120 years ago, the Lancelot Pienne Champagne House has been making wines generation by generation, expressing the richness of the Champagne terroir with authenticity and refinement. With a wealth of experience in different houses, Jean-Baptiste Lancelot, a passionate winegrower, decided at the end of the Second World War to make his own wines. A few years later, one of his sons married Brigitte Pienne and the house of Lancelot Pienne was created. In a constant quest for authenticity and excellence, Lancelot Pienne is a family-run, independent house renowned for the precision and richness of its champagnes, which are considered "vins d'auteur".
