Lancelot-Pienne Champagne Table Ronde Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru NV

92 Punkte, TIM ATKIN, Tom Hewson Champagne 2022 Special Report: "100% Chardonnay from Cramant, Chouilly and Avize. 2018 base with the addition of ist own perpetual reserve. There's nervosity, tension and delicacy at the heart of this, although 2018's warmth brings some sweet clementine and zesty grapefruit intensity around the edges. Some toasted sourdough and russet apple complexity too. Refined and engaging.

- 93 Punkte Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Stephan Reinhardt: "The NV Extra Brut Grand Cru Table Ronde is an assemblage of Chardonnays sourced from three grands crus - Cramant (60%), Chouilly (30%) and Avize (10%). The recent disgorgement (from October 2017) is based on the 2013 vintage (80%) and contains 20% reserve wine. The wine opens with a very clear, fresh and chalky-elegant bouquet with notes of citrus, white fruits and flowers along with a lovely brioche aroma. Disgorged with just 3.5 grams of dosage, THIS IS A LEAN, STRAIGHT, PURE, HIGHLY ELEGANT, FINESSED AND BALANCED Côte des Blancs with perfectly ripe, elegant, lush fruit. Its chalky texture and remarkable purity make this an excellent representative of the Côte des Blancs. The finish is intensely fruity and mineral and reveals a firm structure and fine tension. Tasted in April 2018."
- 92 Punkte WINE ENTHUSIAST, Roger Voss: "Five years on the lees have given this wine an edge of maturity to balance the wine's spice and minerality. Hints of toast mingle with white fruits and a touch of orange zest. Drink the Champagne now."
- 91 Punkte DECANTER: "Biscuity and creamy on the nose, with bright white fruit freshness and direct, lemony acidity nicely balancing some crème fraiche richness. It has a mineral, crushed rock edge on the finish. Could benefit from a bit of time in bottle."
- Jancis Robinson: "80% from 2010 and 20% from reserve wines. Quite heady and solid. No oak but quite solid and bone dry on the end. Lots of character."
- 91 Punkte Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, William Kelley: “Based on the 2016 vintage - complemented by 20% solera-aged reserve wines—and disgorged with 3.5 grams per liter dosage in July 2020, the latest rendition of the NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Table Ronde is showing nicely, delivering aromas of pear, warm biscuits, white flowers, spices and dried fruits. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and precise, with a pretty core of fruit and brisk acids, it concludes with a saline finish. It's drinking well out of the gates.“
- 4 Sterne Gerhard Eichelmann: "... ist eine Selektion der besten Chardonnaytrauben aus Cramant, Avize und Chouilly, hinzu kommen 20 % Reserveweine, ... . Sie zeigt gute Konzentration im Bouquet, ist rauchig, frisch und klar, zeigt reife Frucht, etwas weiße und gelbe Früchte, ist herrlich eindringlich. Im Mund ist sie harmonisch, kar und zupackend, besitzt feine Frucht und mineralische Noten, ist lang und nachhaltig, passt als Aperitifchampagner, aber auch zu Meeresfrüchtenund Fisch."
- Tipp JoS: "Einer meiner Lieblings-Champagner, unheimlich minerlaisch-kalkig, kalkig-rauchige Töne, viel Tiefgang und Komplexität, frisch, direkt, das richtige Maß Straffheit, spannend und interessant, mundwässernd, intensiv, sehr langanhaltend."
