Experience the refreshingly crisp and elegantly fruity character of Lanson Le Black Label Brut, the signature cuvée from one of Champagne’s oldest and most respected houses. This 700ml bottle is a testament to a 260-year history of quality and holds a Royal Warrant, marking it as a purveyor to the Royal Family since 1900. Renowned for its unique freshness, it’s the perfect Champagne for any occasion, from a spontaneous toast to a classic summer celebration.
A Heritage of Freshness: Founded in 1760, Maison Lanson has always championed a style of Champagne that is pure, fresh, and vibrant. The secret to its signature taste lies in its traditional winemaking method. Lanson is one of the few houses that predominantly avoids malolactic fermentation. This preserves the natural, crisp acidity of the grapes, resulting in a Champagne with remarkable vitality, a clean, zesty character, and an exceptional ability to age gracefully.
A Masterful Blend: Le Black Label is a harmonious blend of Pinot Noir (for power and body), Chardonnay (for finesse), and Pinot Meunier (for fruitiness), sourced from a vast array of crus, including many Grand and Premier Crus. This complex composition, combined with a generous ageing period of at least three years in the cellars, creates a perfect balance between power and elegance.
Tasting Profile:
- Appearance: A brilliant, clear straw-yellow hue with a lively stream of fine bubbles.
- Nose: A vibrant bouquet of fresh spring flowers, honey, and ripe orchard fruits, particularly pear and apple, with lively hints of citrus.
- Palate: A clean, crisp, and zesty palate. Flavours of ripe grapefruit and lemon are prominent, leading to a satisfyingly complex and fruity character with a touch of toasted brioche.
- Finish: A long, pure, and refreshingly clean finish.
The Toast of Wimbledon: As the official Champagne of The Championships, Wimbledon, for decades, the taste of Lanson is synonymous with the joy of the Great British summer. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a sunny afternoon in Halesowen, a chilled glass of Lanson Le Black Label Brut is the perfect way to add a touch of elegance and refreshment to the moment.
