✨ Technical Specifications
Lanson's Green Label NV represents a pioneering step for this historic Champagne house, being their first cuvée crafted entirely from certified organic and biodynamically farmed grapes. Sourced exclusively from the estate's single vineyard in Verneuil, located in the heart of the Marne Valley, this wine showcases Lanson's commitment to ecological stewardship. True to the house's signature style, it avoids malolactic fermentation, preserving a vibrant, pristine acidity and intense freshness. The vineyard's clay-limestone soils impart a distinct mineral depth, while the traditional aging on the lees for at least three years in the cellars of Reims develops a beautiful autolytic complexity, bridging centuries-old heritage with modern sustainability.
🍾 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.
