✨ Technical Specifications
To celebrate its landmark 250th anniversary, Champagne Lanson crafted the 'Extra Age' range as an ultimate tribute to the house's historic art of blending. The Extra Age Brut Rosé is a prestigious multi-vintage cuvée that marries the complexity of three exceptional vintages, aged for a minimum of five years on the lees in Lanson's historic chalk cellars. Sourced exclusively from Grand Cru and Premier Cru plots, the blend highlights Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims for structure and delicate red fruit character, alongside Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs for elegance and mineral precision. True to Lanson's time-honored philosophy, the wine avoids malolactic fermentation, preserving a vibrant, mouthwatering acidity that beautifully balances its rich, autolytic notes of brioche, wild strawberry, and redcurrant.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1760 by François Delamotte and later rebranded under the stewardship of Jean-Baptiste Lanson, Champagne Lanson ranks among the oldest and most historically significant Maisons in Reims. Operating today under the Lanson-BCC group with Chef de Cave Hervé Dantan directing vinification, the house sources Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier across approximately 400 hectares, including 60 hectares of estate vineyards managed sustainably with parcels certified organic and biodynamic. Terroirs encompass grand and premier crus spanning the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs, complemented by the notable urban walled vineyard Clos Lanson rooted in pure chalk. Lanson’s vinous signature is defined by its steadfast historic practice of blocking malolactic fermentation across its core range, preserving sharp malic tension, nerve, and structural longevity, balanced by extended lees contact and sizable reserve wine additions. Flagship releases include Le Black Création, the prestige Noble Champagne, and the single-vineyard Clos Lanson Blanc de Blancs.
