Champagne "Sur les Gros Monts" 2017 Grand Cru Lancelot et fils
In the heart of the Côte des Blancs, beyond the renowned trilogy of Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Avize, sometimes we forget about the village of Oiry. Fortunately, Lancelot et Fils' Champagne "Sur les Gros Monts" is here to remind us of the terroir and its unmistakable character.
Maestro Hubert Lancelot, after crafting the celebrated Cramant 'Le Gros Mont,' presents another gem: the Champagne Oiry "Sur les Gros Monts" 2017 Grand Cru. This vintage is the result of the nobility of 100% Chardonnay grapes from old vines dating back to 1942, a promise of tension and concentration that only time and care can bestow.
The essence of fruit and terroir is authentically preserved through a meticulous vinification process. Stainless steel tanks and a traditional fermentation, without the complicity of malolactic fermentation, allow the mineral character to shine. A delicate extra brut dosage of 2 g/l emphasizes purity, while the extended aging of 60 months on lees imparts complexity and depth.
At the first sip, the Chardonnay's typicity unfolds with notes of citrus and white fruit, enriched by subtle peppery hints. This Champagne becomes an experience of pure pleasure, an ideal companion for the most refined aperitifs.
The invitation to savor this masterpiece comes with a suggestion: take it out of the refrigerator a moment before tasting, as its full potential will be revealed only at a temperature of 9-10°C.
The origin terroir, nestled in the Côte des Blancs of Oiry, gives life to this extraordinary creation. A 100% Blanc de Blancs that embodies the authenticity of the place and dedication to quality. The 2 g/l extra brut dosage, combined with 60 months of lees aging, lends the wine extraordinary complexity and refinement.
This Champagne presents itself as the ideal companion for a refined aperitif but transforms into an excellent gastronomic partner. Paired with a stuffed poultry fillet, the delicacy of Oiry "Sur les Gros Monts" pairs perfectly with monkfish in citrus butter or warm oysters, creating a harmony of flavors that delights the palate and tantalizes the senses.
