Winemaker Notes
The quintessential Blancs de Blancs style, with delicate aromas of wildflowers, a lacy, lemony core of tangy fruit, and a silky finish. Pure Grand Cru Chardonnay aged from six to seven years on fine lees.

COMMENTARY: Champagne P. Lancelot-Royer Blanc de Blancs 2013 is rich and lasting on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine shines with aromas and flavors of savory spices, earth, and ripe fruit. Served it with steamed lobster in a spicy cream sauce. (Tasted: September 12, 2022, San Francisco, CA)
Winemaker Michel Chauvet is one of the last true artisans in Champagne who chooses to craft his wines exclusively by hand, the way Champagne was made in the early 1900s before machines replaced manual labor. With just 12 acres of grand cru vines in Cramant, the domaine is one of the smallest in Champagne, yet this is a boon for a grower as dedicated to quality as is
Chauvet. From harvesting to riddling to bottling, a physical, hands-on connection to the craft of Champagne—not impersonal technology—is the rule at Lancelot-Royer. Recent news at the estate is positive: Michel’s son, Edouart, has decided to join his father in Cramant to assist in crafting the family’s small-batch wines. The bespoke Champagne tradition at Lancelot-Royer remains in great hands. Practicing sustainable farming
