Lanson

Founded in 1760, Champagne Lanson is one of the oldest houses in the region. Today, it is both the official champagne supplier to the Wimbledon Tennis Championships and Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters.

Champagne Lanson rests on four immutable pillars: a meticulous selection of crus; a vinification according to the traditional champagne principle; a rare collection of reserve wines, and longer ageing in cellars. Hervé Dantan, Lanson winemaker, carefully crafts elegant wines that are characterised by an inimitable freshness, fruitiness and vitality.

For over 250 years, Lanson has made the decision to remain true to the original, traditional method and to not practice malolactic fermentation in the winemaking process. This choice, guaranteeing freshness and optimizing development of aromas, predestines the cuvées for ageing, enabling them to fully express their rich aromatic profiles. 

The signature of the Lanson range is Le Black Création. Adapting to continued and complex challenges of climate change, upon his arrival in 2013 Cellar Master Hervé Dantan perpetuated the Lanson style in his own inimitable way by introducing single plot vinification and extending the catalogue of reserve wines.

Then, in 2023, Lanson launched a new way of presenting its iconic Black Label with the introduction of Création in order to highlight its fresh and elegant style and continue the story of openness and authenticity. Each Création comes with a number in reference to the number of harvests that have taken place since the House was founded in 1760. Joining the Black is Le Rosé Création.

The rest of the range consists of non-vintage cuvées Le Blanc de Blancs, Le Black Réserve, Le Green Bio-Organic and Le White Label Sec. The vintage cuvées comprise a current release and then the set of prestige cuvée labels, named Noble Cuvée.
