✨ Technical Specifications
Lanson's Noble Cuvée Blanc de Blancs represents the pinnacle of the house's purist philosophy, showcasing the absolute elegance of Chardonnay sourced exclusively from the legendary Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs, primarily Avize and Cramant. First introduced to celebrate the ultimate expression of the noble white grape, this prestige cuvée is defined by Lanson's historic signature: the strict avoidance of malolactic fermentation. By preserving the natural, vibrant malic acidity of the grapes, the wine undergoes a slow, majestic evolution. It is aged on its lees in the deep chalk cellars of Reims for a minimum of a decade, allowing the initial piercing acidity to integrate with rich autolytic notes of brioche, hazelnut, and preserved citrus. The result is a Champagne of immense structural tension, crystalline purity, and a deep, chalky minerality that pays homage to the ancient soils of its origin.
🍾 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.
