The story
The estate dates back to the 1970s with the Lancelot family. Philippe Lancelot returned to the family business in the early 2000s and took over management in the following years, continuing the family's winemaking and developing an approach focused on respect for the terroir.
Production philosophy
The approach is based on biodynamic and organic farming, natural fermentations and minimal cellar interventions: the aim is to bring out the "DNA" of each cru. Since 2015 vinification has been carried out with little or no sulphite, and a minimal or zero sulphite dosage is preferred to respect the wines' natural balance.
