Lancelot Pienne

The Maison Lancelot-Pienne is located in the heart of Champagne. To be precise, we are in the prestigious Grand Cru of Cramant, in the Côte des Blancs. Today, the company is run by Gilles, the last heir to a long family tradition. Founded at the beginning of the 20th century by Jean-Baptiste Lancelot, after a long experience as chef de cave at G.H.Mumm, the business then passed into the hands of his son Jean, who also has a long experience gained at the great maisons. To him, in particular, is due the merit of having initiated the marketing of the first bottles under the family label. Then, in the 1960s, the third Lancelot generation joined forces with another family of winegrowers, the Pienne, consolidating its position as a point of reference in the production panorama of the Grand Cru of Cramant. Today, the Lancet-Pienne vineyards extend over approximately 9 hectares, divided into several plots. Lancelot-Pienne Champagnes are appreciated for their ability to bring out the different nuances of Chardonnay from Cramant.
