✨ Technical Specifications
Lanson's Le Vintage is a prestigious expression of a single exceptional year, capturing the unique climate and character of that harvest. True to Lanson's signature style established in 1760, this Champagne is crafted without malolactic fermentation, allowing the vibrant, crisp acidity of the grapes to shine and granting the wine an extraordinary capacity for aging. Sourced exclusively from Grand and Premier Cru vineyards, the blend typically favors Pinot Noir for structure and power, balanced by the elegance and finesse of Chardonnay. Each vintage is aged in the cool chalk cellars of Reims for at least five to ten years before disgorgement, developing complex autolytic notes of toasted brioche, honey, and dried fruits while maintaining its legendary freshness.
🍾 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.
