The cuvée Perceval 2008 from the house of Lancelot-Pienne is an absolutely remarkable champagne made from Chardonnay (50%) grown on the Grand Cru parcels of Cramant, and Pinot Noir (50%) from the Marne valley (Les Bignards and Les Baltoits).
This champagne was baptised as a tribute to Madame Lancelot whose maiden name was Perceval.
2008 was one of the most outstanding vintages of recent years. The wines from 2008 are full of character and poise with exceptional ageing potential.
The cuvée Perceval 2008 from Lancelot-Pienne is delicately golden in colour with a multitude of graceful bubbles.
The nose is bursting with ripe fruits, whilst the palate is vinous and beautifully structured with exquisite notes of red fruits, redcurrant and blackcurrant.
A truly great gastronomic champagne.
