✨ Technical Specifications
Lanson's White Label Sec NV is a playful and elegant expression of the house's historic style, specifically crafted to offer a sweeter, softer profile while maintaining their signature vibrant freshness. Founded in 1760, Lanson famously eschews malolactic fermentation, a traditional choice that preserves a striking backbone of natural acidity. In the White Label, this crispness perfectly balances a higher dosage of around 28 to 32 grams per liter, preventing the off-dry style from feeling heavy. Historically, this cuvée was designed to encourage interactive tasting, often served with natural garnishes like mint leaves, orange peel, or fresh raspberries to unlock its aromatic complexity. It represents a bridge between Lanson's classical heritage and modern, convivial champagne service.
🍾 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.
