Lancelot-royer Cuvee des chevaliers gr cru 20NV

Say hello to Lancelot-Royer's Chardonnay — a Champagne from France, and it's a non-vintage bottling. Chardonnay is the world's most famous white grape, remarkably versatile, ranging from crisp and citrusy when unoaked to rich and buttery with notes of apple, pear and, when oak-aged, vanilla and toast. Champagne earns those fine, persistent bubbles the hard way, through a traditional second fermentation right in the bottle. France is the spiritual home of wine, the place that gave us most of the world's classic styles and the whole idea that where a wine grows shapes how it tastes. Crack it open as a celebration starter — it loves shellfish, salty nibbles and fried bites. Best served cold, ideally in a tall glass.
