Description

AVAILABLE ONLY AT CHELSEA PIERS


Founded in 1760, Champagne Lanson is one of the oldest Grande Marque Champagne Houses. One of the largest champagne houses in the world, it is best known for its Brut Non Vintage, the Lanson Black Label.


Aged a minimum of three years, the Lanson Black Label is a blend of 35 % chardonnay, 50% pinot noir, and 15% pinot meunier.  An impressive range of 40 to 50 crus are blended together to form this Brut Champagne. They are vinified separately to provide the cellar master with an exceptional choice of aromas, thus guaranteeing the consistent Lanson style.  The nose provides an impression of vitality and scents of spring mixed with a touch of "toast" and honey.  The palate reveals a bouquet of ripe fruits and citrus fruits.


Critical Acclaim:


"An elegant, berry and citrus-infused bubbly, very fresh and lively, with an intensity that carries through to the long, long aftertaste. Lovely expression."
