The grapes for Lanson Le Blanc De Blancs Brut NV Champagne are selected from amongst the best Chardonnay vineyards. At least 40% reserve wines are used, some aged for over 20 years, to create consistency of style and aromatic intensity. Le Blanc de Blancs is matured for at least 5 years in cellars to develop a subtle combination of complexity and vibrancy.
Freshness and vitality are the founding principals of Lanson's style and so creating Le Blanc de Blancs was an obvious choice for Hervé Dantan, the Maison's Winemaker.
The blending of the best Crus from two very different regions offers a unique balance to the wine: the Côte des Blancs producing fine and elegant grapes and the Montagne de Reims with grapes of fleshy and rich character. Le Blanc de Blancs has all the characteristics of a great Chardonnay. The delicacy and finesse are enhanced by a very pure, mineral finish and by the freshness that is the hallmark of the Lanson style. As a gastronomic champagne, its rich texture and persistent finish will pair perfectly with fresh, light dishes.
Colour:
A luminous golden colour with flecks of green and very fine and elegant bubbles.
Nose:
Fine and deep aromas recall notes of marzipan, dried fruit and candied citrus. Notes of William pear, sesame seeds, lime blossom and aniseed enhance the minerality of the wine.
Palate:
Fresh and invigorating on the palate with aromas of nougat and zest. Woody hints and a touch of chalkiness.
Finish:
Saline, delicate and pure.
The bottle comes presented in a cream Lanson Le Blanc De Blancs branded box.
