✨ Technical Specifications
To celebrate its landmark 250th anniversary, Champagne Lanson crafted the Extra Age Brut, a masterclass in blending that marries the house's historic non-malolactic style with extended cellar aging. This cuvée is a select blend of outstanding vintages sourced exclusively from Grand and Premier Cru vineyards. By combining Pinot Noir for structure and power with Chardonnay for elegance and finesse, and aging the wine on its lees for a minimum of five years in Lanson's historic Reims cellars, the house achieves a magnificent tension. The signature absence of malolactic fermentation preserves a vibrant, laser-like acidity, which is beautifully rounded out by complex, mature notes of wild honey, toasted brioche, and baked orchard fruits.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1760 by François Delamotte and later renamed under the leadership of Jean-Baptiste Lanson in 1837, Champagne Lanson is one of the oldest and most prestigious houses in Reims, France. Long celebrated for its distinctive winemaking philosophy, the house traditionally avoids malolactic fermentation to preserve the intense freshness, vibrant acidity, and remarkable aging potential of its cuvées. Lanson sources fruit from premier and grand cru vineyards across Champagne, culminating in a refined portfolio anchored by Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Its distinguished range spans the iconic Le Black Création, exceptional vintage releases, the single-vineyard Clos Lanson, and the prestigious Noble Champagne series.
