Tasting Notes:
To the eye the brilliant, limpid colour recalls the characteristic straw tones of the Pinot Noir, with glints of amber. It is lively in the flute, with a fine stream of persistent bubbles. On the nose it gives an impression of vitality and springtime scents, together with hints of "toast" and from a variety of flowers.
In the mouth a bouquet of ripe fruits and citrus create a sensation of plenitude and lightness.
A pleasant racy wine with a long and lingering taste. To be enjoyed at all occasions.
Grape Variety:
35% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir, 15% Pinot Meunier. The blend is made of wines from between 50 to 60 different crus
Background Information:
One of the oldest champagne house, Lanson was founded in 1760 by Francois Delamotte, a magistrate from the Reims. The values and expertise that created the unique and enduring style of Champagne Lanson have been handed down from generation to generation. Since 1760, this has been the guiding philosophy of the successive generations that have promoted Lanson throughout the world.
Centuries in the dedicated pursuit of perfection have established the House of Lanson as one of the premier champagne makers. Today, the marriage of a contemporary dynamism with age-old tradition brings pleasure to millions the world over.
Champagne Lanson is one of the few houses in the Champagne region that chooses not to use malolactic fermentation. This decision guarantees the freshness and optimal development of the wines' flavours, allowing vintages to mature fully and evolve their complete array of aromas.
"For the past two years this has been the best and most consistent non-vintage from any of the big Grandes Marques"
Tom Stevenson - The Wine Report 2009; Champagne Report 2009
