 Estate created in 1960 per Pierre Lancelot, and taken again in 1996 by his/her daughter Sylvie and her son-in-law Michel Chauvet. The cellars are dug in the hillock of chalk right behind the house. The press is at the top of the hillock, must is conveyed in the tanks by gravity.
The Champagne brut cuvée des Chevaliers Grand Cru, Chardonnay 100%, resulting from 30 year old vines, is of rich and very delicate foam, with the nuances of honey, the nose of small fruits (peach), quite firm and suave mouth, with delicate and silky texture, a wine all in distinction which is tasted on a roasted salmon, for example. The Champagne Blanc de blancs cuvée de Réserve R.R, pure Chardonnay also, of very beautiful color, with this nose prevailed by the dry fruits and the fresh flowers, of full mouth to the nuances of fresh almond, light foam, combines delicacy and structure finally.
