La Maison
Founded in 1960 by Pierre Lancelot and Françoise Royer, the house was built on the ambition to craft a singular champagne, one of terroir, true to the identity of the Côte des Blancs. The estate developed around Françoise and Pierre's family home, with a harvest facility, a winery and a cellar carved into the chalk hillside at the rear of the property. Extensions carried out by Sylvie and Michel subsequently made it possible to optimise the pressing and storage facilities, while enhancing the welcome offered to visitors. Since 2023, a new chapter has begun with the arrival at the estate of Édouard, grandson of the founder, and his wife Marie.
Our Story
Our Cellars
Carved into the heart of the chalk over generations, our cellars offer ideal conditions for the maturation of our champagnes. It is in this silence and constant coolness that the cuvées rest, refine, and gain complexity over time. A true haven for aging, this place preserves the identity and finesse of each wine, revealing the full precision of the preparatory work.
Our Vineyards
Heirs to six generations of winegrowers, our vines span five hectares across 28 plots, at the heart of six villages in the Côte des Blancs, four of which are classified as Grands Crus. This precious fragmentation allows for an exacting plot-by-plot approach and meticulous work, shaped in the continuity of a savoir-faire passed down since the founding of the Maison in 1960.
Over the past decade, we have changed the way we cultivate our vines, working the soil with a plough and deliberately grassing over certain plots, with the aim of eliminating herbicide use entirely and improving the quality of our soils, so essential to the expression of our terroir. This more environmentally conscious approach led us to obtain, in 2019, the Viticulture Durable en Champagne (VDC) and Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE) certifications.
