"Lanson Champagne Le Black Réserve Brut
About the producer:
Founded in 1760, Champagne Lanson is one of the oldest houses in the region, with a style defined by freshness, elegance, and longevity. The house is renowned for its commitment to traditional methods, including avoiding malolactic fermentation to preserve vibrancy and crispness.
About the region:
Champagne, located in northern France, is divided into distinct sub-regions: Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, Côte des Blancs, and Côte des Bar. Its chalky soils and cool climate create ideal conditions for producing sparkling wines with finesse, tension, and minerality.
About the grape variety:
Le Black Réserve Brut is typically composed of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. Pinot Noir adds power and structure, Chardonnay provides elegance and freshness, and Pinot Meunier contributes fruitiness and roundness. A significant proportion of reserve wines enhances complexity.
Style and tasting note:
Lanson Champagne Le Black Réserve Brut offers aromas of apple, pear, and citrus, enriched by notes of brioche, almond, and honey. The palate is full and generous, with fine bubbles, fresh acidity, and a long, complex finish that balances richness with precision.
Trivia:
Le Black Réserve Brut was created by Lanson’s cellar master to showcase a more gastronomic style of Champagne. With longer aging on lees and a higher proportion of reserve wines, it is particularly well-suited to food pairings, from seafood to roasted poultry."
