Philippe Lancelot
The Domaine Y. Lancelot Wanner was founded in the 1970s by my parents, each of whom inherited vineyards around the village: Cramant, Avize, Chouilly, Oiry, Epernay and Ay.
Biodynamic practices on all plots in 2012, AB Ecocert certification in 2014, Demeter in 2015 and Biodyvin in 2020.
My idea is to understand and bring out the best of the DNA of each vineyard and to use my imagination, vintage after vintage, to create cuvées, each with its own identity, including the vintage. Purity, uniqueness and ‘originality’ are my most cherished desires; hence the idea of ‘parcelles et coups de cÅ“ur’.
This is why each package illustrates in my own way how I feel about wine.
The collaboration with Hervé Jestin since the 2009 vintage has resulted in optimal ripening of the grapes, vinification with little sulphur and without sulphur since the 2015 vintage. The light and verticality provided by these winemaking methods spread joy, contentment and radiance.
The wines are naturally balanced from the moment they leave the cellar and require little or no dosage.
If I had to sum it up …. “my motto! – Nature is well made, surely there is nothing better than nature…!
