✨ Technical Specifications
Founded in 1760, Champagne Lanson is one of the oldest houses in Reims, historically distinguished by its traditional decision to avoid malolactic fermentation. This signature winemaking choice preserves a vibrant, mouthwatering acidity and endows their cuvées with legendary aging potential. The Vintage Collection Brut represents the absolute pinnacle of this longevity, consisting of rare, late-disgorged library releases that have matured for decades on their lees in the house's labyrinthine chalk cellars. Typically crafted from a Pinot Noir-dominant blend balanced by Chardonnay sourced from prestigious Grand and Premier Cru vineyards, these Champagnes offer a majestic dialogue between youthful freshness and deep, tertiary complexity. Each bottle bears the Maltese Cross, a historic emblem adopted in 1837 when the founder's son, a member of the Sovereign Order of Malta, took stewardship of the house.
