✨ Technical Specifications
Lanson was one of the true pioneers of Rosé Champagne, with historical records showing they were producing it as early as 1833 and exporting it to the Swedish court by the late 19th century. The Rose Label Brut NV is celebrated for its delicate pale salmon color and its vibrant, fresh character. True to the house style of Lanson, this cuvée avoids malolactic fermentation, ensuring a crisp, mouthwatering acidity that beautifully balances the succulent red berry fruit flavors. Crafted from a selection of Crus across the Champagne region, it incorporates a portion of still red wine to achieve its signature hue and delicate berry aromas. It is aged for at least three years on its lees in the historic cellars of Reims, resulting in a harmonious blend of youthful freshness and subtle autolytic complexity.
🍾 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.
