Champagne Lanson Black Label Brut

The Champagne Lanson Black Label Brut is a quintessential expression of the House’s fresh and powerful style, celebrated for its remarkable consistency and vibrancy. This iconic non-vintage cuvée is a benchmark for crisp, fruit-forward Champagne, making it a perfect choice for any celebration or as a classic apéritif.

Founded in 1760, Champagne Lanson is one of the oldest and most respected houses in the region, holding a Royal Warrant as an official supplier to the British court. The producer is distinguished by its historical decision to avoid malolactic fermentation for its non-vintage wines, a technique that preserves the grapes’ natural acidity and zesty character. This commitment results in a wine of exceptional purity and aging potential, cementing Lanson’s reputation for quality and elegance.

In the glass, the wine displays a brilliant pale-gold color with a fine, persistent stream of bubbles, releasing vibrant aromas of ripe pear, lemon, and spring flowers with underlying hints of toast and honey. The palate is lively and full-bodied, driven by crisp green apple and citrus flavors that are beautifully balanced by a subtle biscuity complexity. A clean, zesty acidity leads to a long, refreshing, and harmonious finish.

To fully appreciate its complexity, serve the Champagne Lanson Black Label Brut well-chilled between 8-10°C. It is a superb partner for a wide range of foods, from fresh oysters and grilled fish to light poultry dishes and canapés.
