✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
