The Le Hauts d’Epernay Millesime Grand Cru Nature, produced by Philippe Lancelot, is a superb expression of the unique terroir of Epernay, located in the prestigious Champagne region of France. This champagne is characterized by a rigorous selection of grapes exclusively from Grand Cru classified vineyards, ensuring a product of exceptional quality and refinement.

The "Millesimé" cuvée indicates that all the grapes used come from the same vintage, in this case, a year considered exceptionally good in the region, which is then highlighted on the bottle labels. This detail emphasizes the exceptional nature and specificity of the vintage, making each bottle unique.

The "Nature" style of this champagne indicates that a very limited amount of sugar was added during its production, resulting in an extremely pure and expressive wine. This style enhances the natural qualities of the grapes and the terroir, allowing the wine to speak directly of its origin without disguise.

On the nose, the Le Hauts d’Epernay Millesime Grand Cru Nature by Philippe Lancelot offers complex aromas of fresh fruit, citrus notes, and delicate floral hints. On the palate, it has a well-balanced structure, magnificent liveliness, and fineness of the bubbles that surprise and delight. The finish is long and lingering, with an aftertaste that remains pleasantly in the mouth, inviting another sip.

This champagne is wonderfully suited for aperitifs or can gracefully accompany refined dishes such as oysters or salmon tartare. It is also an excellent companion for a special celebration, offering a tasting experience that remains memorable.

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.
