This extraordinary Champagne Millésimé Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut by Philippe Lancelot is a true expression of the elegance and sophistication that characterize the Côte des Blancs, one of the most prestigious regions for champagne production. Produced exclusively from Chardonnay grapes selected from the Grand Cru vineyards of Cramant, this cuvée is a spectacle of purity and finesse.

The Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut "Base de Saran" by Philippe Lancelot reveals on the nose intricate aromas of ripe citrus, notes of fresh brioche, and mineral nuances reminiscent of the typical craie of the Cramant terroir. On the palate, it offers excellent acidic tension, leading to a lasting sensation of freshness, supported by a fine and persistent effervescence that enhances the complexity of the wine. The taste notes evolve towards sensations of white-fleshed fruit, a touch of almond, and an elegant mineral finish.

Aged in the cellar for at least 5 years, this champagne stands out for its Extra Brut character, which ensures an intense and lightly dosed tasting experience, ideal for appreciating the purity of the fruit and the richness of the terroir.

The label of Philippe Lancelot, known for its dedication to sustainable viticulture and environmental respect, is a guarantee of quality and care at every stage of the production process. This champagne is a sublime option for connoisseurs seeking a unique sensory experience, perfect as an aperitif or to accompany delicate dishes such as oysters or fish tartare.

Ultimately, the "Base de Saran" Millésimé Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut represents an excellent choice for special moments, offering a glass of pure joy that reflects the mastery and passion of Philippe Lancelot for the highest level of champagne.
