Tasting note
Smart Champagne, scented with fresh-cut flowers and honey, with ripe fruit and delicate citrus on the tongue.
Viticulture
Lanson is one of the oldest holders of the Royal Warrant and to this day is still family run based in Reims. Every tradition is respected in the winemaking process which dates back to 1760. The grapes are sourced from Grand Cru vineyards in the Cote du Blanc, specifically from the districts of Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Mesnil-Sur-Oger, Oger.
Vinification
The grapes from each of the crus are vinified separately and unlike many other houses, malolactic fermentation is avoided - excluding this process ensures mouth-watering flavours and an exceptional purity of fruit. 100% chardonnay Grand Cru from the Cote de Blanc: Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Mesnil-Sur-Oger, Oger Ageing: 12 years on the lees Dosage: 6g/l .
Food Match
Of course to be enjoyed on its own Lanson's flagship cuvee also marries well with Pork, rich Fish courses such as Salmon & Tuna as well as shellfish and mild/soft cheese.
