✨ wine.spec_sheet
Founded in 1760, Champagne Lanson is one of the oldest houses in the region, recognizable by the Maltese Cross on its label—a legacy of the founder's son who was a Knight of Malta. Lanson's Le Blanc de Blancs is a luminous tribute to Chardonnay, sourced from the finest Premier and Grand Cru vineyards across the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. True to Lanson's historic winemaking philosophy, this cuvée largely avoids malolactic fermentation, preserving the grape's pristine, razor-sharp acidity and intense mineral drive. Aged for at least five years in the cool chalk cellars of Reims, the wine develops a complex tapestry of white flowers, candied lemon peel, and toasted brioche, married to a remarkably fine, persistent mousse.
