Philippe Lancelot 'Les Pommiers' Extra Brut Grand Cru 2018

產地：法國
產區：香檳產區 (Champagne)

Philippe Lancelot, Les Pommiers Extra Brut Grand Cru is a characterful grower Champagne that spotlights old-vine Meunier from chalk-rich slopes near Épernay, crafted with a terroir-first philosophy. This small‑production cuvée blends meticulous hand-harvesting, gentle pressing, and fermentation split between seasoned oak and stainless steel to build texture without masking freshness. Extended lees aging and an extra‑low dosage amplify precision, salinity, and length.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of yellow orchard fruit, quince, brioche, and light vanilla unfold over crushed-chalk minerality. The palate is vibrant yet creamy, with red‑currant lift, citrus zest, and a savory, persistent finish that is both gastronomic and refreshing.

Background & Winemaking

From a single historic parcel planted in the late 1960s, farmed organically with minimal inputs, this wine channels the estate’s multi‑generation heritage and reverence for chalk. No-nonsense cellar work—native-yeast ferments, careful lees work, and extra‑brut balance—keeps purity front and center.
