Founded in 1760, Champagne Lanson is one of the oldest houses in Reims, famously holding a Royal Warrant from the British Court since 1884. The Lanson Brut Vintage represents a celebration of exceptional years, crafted predominantly from Grand and Premier Cru vineyards across the Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs. True to the house's signature style, this vintage cuvée is traditionally made without malolactic fermentation. This deliberate choice preserves the natural, mouthwatering acidity of the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, allowing the wine to develop incredible complexity, structure, and tension over time. Aged for at least five years in the historic chalk cellars, it emerges with a brilliant golden hue, offering a rich tapestry of ripe citrus, toasted brioche, and honeyed minerality.
