Lancelot-Pienne Champagne Brut Accord Majeur NV ['17 Base]
Champagne Lancelot-Pienne “Accord Majeur” NV is a beautiful expression of the house’s dedication to the art of blending. This cuvée is composed primarily of 80% Pinot Meunier, with 10% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir, all sourced from vines averaging 40-50 years old. The vineyards, located in the Côteaux Sud d’Épernay and the Vallée de la Marne, thrive on east-facing, clay-limestone terroirs, contributing to the wine’s complexity and finesse.
The winemaking process includes 100% malolactic fermentation, with the wine spending 60 months on the lees before disgorgement, ensuring a rich and creamy texture. The base vintage is predominantly 2017, with the remaining balancing coming from the house’s perpetual reserve, a solera-style system started in 1998 that deepens the wine’s complexity. With a dosage of 5 g/L, the Champagne retains a fresh yet rounded profile.
On the nose, it delivers aromas of quince, dried apricots, and hazelnuts, underpinned by hints of buttery brioche and subtle smokiness. The palate is smooth and creamy, with flavors of candied fruits, toasted nuts, and a touch of rye bread, all complemented by a fine mousse. The finish is long and elegant, with a delicate balance of fruit and savory notes, including a hint of spice.
This is a versatile Champagne that pairs wonderfully with a range of dishes, from creamy cheeses like Comté to roasted white meats and even desserts with light chocolate notes.
