winemaker's notes:

Champagne Lanson was founded in 1760 and is one of the oldest Grande Marque Champagne Houses. Lanson is the fourth largest Champagne House in the world and is best known for its Brut Non Vintage, the Lanson Black Label. Lanson is one of the very few Champagne Houses which avoids the malolactic fermentation. This practice retains the freshness and fruitiness of each cuvee and enables the wines to age longer.

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."

Wine Spectator

"Lanson's Black Label is one of the most familiar Champagne brands, well known for its rich but dry style. It needs some bottle age—as has happened with this bottling—to soften the crispness. The wine is rounded out with toast, puff pastry and freshened with apple skins."

rating (9/29/2010):

I love half-bottle options, particularly when they are good! This is an excellent Champagne- dry and crisp, mineral and citrus, but with that typical yeasty note that makes it fill the nose and mouth. Great finish, too. Excellent acidity for pairing with food.
