Lanson's Champagne Black Label is a Brut with a strong personality, baptized with an English name in 1937 in homage to the British Royal Family, of which the Maison was a supplier. In the glass it reveals an intense straw yellow and a fine and creamy perlage. With the aging of about 36 months in bottle it develops a fruity bouquet of green apple, with toasted notes and brioches. The sip is creamy and fruity, with a pleasant mineral persistence

The Champagne Brut “Black Label” by Lanson is a classic label, characterized by great finesse and elegance. It is a cuvée made with a predominant percentage of Pinot Noir and a balance of Chardonnay and Meunier, which complete the blend giving the bouquet complexity and aromatic richness. The aging on the lees for 36 months allows the Champagne to reach full expressive maturity, with notes ranging from fruity aromas to more mature and evolved scents. It is a traditional Champagne, confirming the high standard of the labels from the historic Maison of Reims. Perfect to enjoy during a dinner with a seafood menu.

The Brut “Black Label” is a Champagne produced by one of the most historically rich Maisons in Champagne. Lanson was founded in 1760 and still today has preserved the ancient dimension and traditional family savoir-faire. Among the owned vineyards and those of the numerous supplying vignerons, Lanson can count on high-quality grapes, which

come from over 100 different crus, of which half are classified as Grand or Premier Cru. At the end of the harvest, the grapes of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier are vinified separately, plot by plot. The vins clairs rest for a few months without undergoing malolactic fermentation and are then blended to create the final cuvée. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Champenoise method, with a sur lattes aging in the Maison's cellars for at least 36 months.

“Black Label” Champagne Lanson is the true calling card of this famous Maison in Reims, which wanted to create a label that could express the typical profile of Lanson, its centuries-old tradition, and the care in crafting great champagnes with a clear and fresh style. In the glass, it presents a bright straw yellow color, with a fine and continuous perlage. The bouquet offers floral scents, fragrant citrus aromas, white-fleshed fruit, hints of pain grillé, and delicate toasted memories. The sip is tense and vertical, with good aromatic complexity and a finish characterized by a lively

freshness. A Champagne that has now entered history, unmissable for all enthusiasts.
