| Review: |
"Jean-Paul Lancelot farms four hectares of vines, all in the grand cru villages of Cramant, Oger, Avize and Chouilly. He reserves the production from two lieux à dits to make his Brut Tradition Vieilles Vignes bottling below, and blends the remainder into this bottling. All of his vines are old by Champagne standards, as the youngest are now forty years of age. The la Croisée des Terroirs bottling is lovely, offering up a complex nose of pear, apple, fresh almond, chalky soil tones, brioche and a nice floral topnote of spring flowers. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied and complex, with a lovely core, fine soil signature, quite refined mousse and a long, focused and well-balanced finish. A fine bottle of non-vintage Blanc de Blancs." |
