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.

Description Lanson Vintage Collection 1989.

The Lanson Vintage Collection 1989 is a vibrant testament to Maison Lanson's expertise in creating exceptional Champagnes. This cuvée Rare, only produced during exceptional vintages, is certainly part of one of the finest vintage collections initiated in 1904.

Each bottle, preserved since its origin in the house's historic cellars, is treated as a "special order", with disgorgement carried out to order, thus ensuring optimal freshness and quality.

A Champagne work of art, it is blended from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from prestigious Grand Cru terroirs such as Cramant, Chouilly, Oger, Verzenay, Bouzy and Aÿ.

The year 1989 was characterized by a cool spring and a hot summer, leading to an early harvest in September and a Seconde harvest in October, offering grapes of incomparable quality.

Visually, this cuvée is distinguished by an old gold color with copper highlights. Its gourmet bouquet reveals intense aromas of candied fruit and hints of humus. On the palate, the attack is fleshy, the texture ample and velvety, and the finish, finely chalky, persistent.

The Lanson Vintage Collection 1989 is a Champagne of gastronomy par excellence, which will ideally accompany small game birds such as pheasant or pigeon.
