Lanson
House Lanson was founded in Reims in 1760 by François Delamotte, an alderman and merchant in Reims. It is one of the oldest houses in Champagne.
In 1798, Nicolas-Louis Delamotte, Chevalier de l'Ordre de Malte, succeeded his father and took the Maltese Cross as his business emblem.
In 1837, Jean-Baptiste Lanson, associated with the Delamotte family in the house of Champagne, on the death of Nicolas-Louis Delamotte, was entrusted with the reins of the house, which then took the name Lanson, Père et Fils.
In 1882, Victor-Marie Lanson signed his first exclusive agent contract with the House of Percy Fox in London, a contract that would last for over 100 years, ensuring the success of Champagne Lanson.
The year 1900 marked an important turning point for the House of Lanson. Queen Victoria rewarded Champagne Lanson with the prestigious Royal Warrant of Appointment, which the company still holds today.
From the outset, Maison Lanson has perpetuated the Champagne tradition of not using malolactic fermentation. This specificity favors optimal development of fruit aromas, preserves the freshness of the grapes while allowing longer aging, a guarantee of the quality of the time spent in the prestigious cellars of Maison Lanson.
Critics Lanson Clos Lanson 2009.
Description Lanson Clos Lanson 2009.
Unique plot located in the heart of Reims, with an area of one hectare, the bottles produced from this vineyard are as rare as they are exceptional. The vines located just above the cellars of Maison Lanson are rooted in very chalky soil and benefit from a microclimate.
Protected by high walls, the Clos Lanson, dating from the 18th century, offers a breathtaking view of the cathedral of the kings of France.
The 2009 vintage provided optimal conditions for the development of the grapes. Minerality, freshness, very delicate woodiness characterize this cuvée.
Clos Lanson 2009 is a blanc de blancs vinified exclusively in oak barrels for at least 12 years to achieve a unique aromatic complexity.
The nose is pure and seductive, it develops notes of ripe fruit, dried fruit and vanilla. After aeration, aromas of white peach, bergamot, hazelnut, almond and pastries follow one another with finesse and complexity.
On the palate, the wine soars with smoothness and freshness. A wave of white fruits and citrus fruits, pastry notes and finally a very fine woodiness, are expressed with great harmony. The finish is dense, creamy and chiseled.
Exceptional champagne evokes refined dishes. A Saint-Pierre with its leek fondue and cockle jus or roasted langoustines will go perfectly with the Lanson Clos Lanson 2009.
