Philippe Lancelot

Nestled in the Grand Cru villages of Cramant and Chouilly in Champagne’s Côte des Blancs, Champagne Philippe Lancelot is a biodynamic pioneer crafting terroir-driven, low-intervention sparkling wines from Chardonnay-dominant vineyards. Founded in the 1970s and revitalized by Philippe Lancelot, the estate transitioned to fully biodynamic practices by 2012, earning Demeter and Biodyvin certifications for its commitment to purity. Collaborating with renowned oenologist Hervé Jestin, Lancelot champions sulfur-free winemaking (since 2015) and zero-dosage cuvées, highlighting the mineral precision of chalk-rich soils through wines like Le Fond du Bâteau and Ivresse. Featured in Michelin-starred restaurants worldwide, these champagnes—often aged on lees for 4+ years—balance vibrant acidity with notes of green apple, brioche, and saline freshness, embodying the "light and verticality" of their biodynamic origins.
