The Lancelot Pienne winery is one of the most reputable Grand Cru located at Cramant - Épernay. Jean-Batiste Lancelot, originally a brew master at the House of Mumm, finally got his first acre of land in Cramant at early 20th century and started the 120 years old Lancelot Pienne winery we know today. After the Second World War, Champagne becomes a synonym for sparkling joyous. Jean, Jean-Baptiste’s son, follows his father’s path into the Champagne brewing family and starts building the Lancelot brand. In 1967, Albert Lancelot, the third generation of the Lancelot family, along with his wife Brigette Pienne who also comes from a champagne family decides to merge the two family’s Champagne winery and consolidated both family’s brewing technique to form today’s Lancelot Pienne Winery. Current owner of the winery Gilles Lancelot as the fourth-generation still carries on the Récoltant manipulant tradition; where Gilles would participate in every step of the process from tending the vineyards, planting and growing of grapes to brewing and bottling. His full-hearted dedication to the winery has accomplished their Champagne brand as a synonym of luxury. The Lancelot Pienne Champagne has reached an average rating of over 90. Its 2010 champagne has gotten a 93-rating advocated by Robert Parker.
