Description
A truly uplifting non-vintage brut champagne, with an exceptional purity of fruit. For 250 years we have chosen to avoid malolactic fermentation - a decision that ensures our champagne preserves a naturally crisp and fresh taste. Unlike many others we also insist on at least 3 years' cellar ageing.
Tasting Notes
Lanson Black Label is mouthwatering and uplifting, it's great as an aperitif and can be drunk at anytime - there's no need for an excuse!
Notes from the Cellar Master
To the eye:
Black Label’s brilliant colour recalls the characteristic straw tones of the Pinot Noir, with glints of amber. It is lively in the flute, with a fine stream of persistent bubbles.
On the nose:
Black Label's fresh aromas combine the impression of vitality and spring-time scents, together with hints of ‘toast’ and honey.
On the palate:
Bouquets of ripe fruits and citrus create a sensation of opulence yet lightness.

Description
Lanson has been making rosé champagnes for more than 60 years and our Rose Label is one of the most sought-after around the world. True to our distinctive house style we avoid malolactic fermentation, which results in a rosé of supreme delicacy and purity. The delicate pale salmon colour is produced through the careful addition of a small amount of Coteaux Champenois Bouzy Rouge, a still red wine produced from Pinot Noir grapes. The result is a lightly hued, fragrant and delightful rosé champagne perfect for any occasion.
Tasting Notes
Lanson Rose Label's pale salmon colour and taste of fresh, succulent summer berries make it a perfect accompaniment to any romantic spring or summer occasion. Delicious served with fresh red berry desserts or simply on its own.
Notes from the Cellar Master

On the nose:

On the palate:
The initial impression is tender, well-rounded and fresh. This wine has harmonious balance and good length on the finish.

Description
In the 19th Century, Demi-Sec was the predominant champagne style and is now gaining in popularity once more. The secret is getting the balance right between the dosage and acidity in the champagne. Lanson's fresh and clean non-malolactic style produces a fruity and vibrant Demi-Sec, balancing sweet and dry to perfection.
Tasting Notes
With its higher levels of natural sweetness, Lanson Ivory Label makes the ideal partner for sweeter foods and is the perfect accompaniment to traditional afternoon tea. Alternatively try it with aromatic spiced Asian dishes for a truly unique champagne experience.
Notes from the Cellar Master
To the eye:

On the palate:
Fruity, full bodied with roundness and sensuality.

Description
Produced in only the best years and from grapes from the best vineyards, Gold Label offers the ultimate expression of a single great year. Aged for longer than our non-vintage blends and produced in lesser quantities, our vintage champagnes are totally unique. Lanson Gold Label is produced without malolactic fermentation just as all of our champagnes are, but receives a minimum of five years ageing on the lees.
Tasting Notes
Lanson Gold Label 1999 is perfect when served with creamed fish, white meat or a matured Comté cheese.
