✨ Technical Specifications
Established in 1760, Champagne Lanson is one of the oldest houses in the region, historically favored by royal courts across Europe. The Noble Cuvée Brut Rosé represents the absolute pinnacle of Lanson's house style, which famously eschews malolactic fermentation to preserve the natural purity, vibrant acidity, and exceptional aging potential of the fruit. This prestige cuvée is a masterclass in elegance, unusually dominated by Grand Cru Chardonnay (primarily from Avize and Oger) which lends a precise, mineral-driven backbone. It is beautifully complemented by Grand Cru Pinot Noir from Verzenay and Bouzy, including a small portion of still red wine to impart its delicate salmon-pink hue and subtle red fruit complexity. Aged for more than a decade in the labyrinthine chalk cellars of Reims, this Champagne develops a sophisticated harmony of wild strawberry, rose petal, and toasted brioche notes, underpinned by a crystalline freshness.
🍾 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.
