Champagne Lanson
Founded in 1760, Champagne Lanson is one of the oldest houses in the region. A year before the end of her reign, Queen Victoria awarded Lanson the Royal Warrant as an official supplier to the Court of England, and the House has retained this ever since. It is also the official champagne supplier to the Wimbledon Tennis Championships. Champagne Lanson rests on 4 immutable pillars: a meticulous selection of crus; a vinification according to the traditional champagne principle; a rare collection of reserve wines, and longer ageing in cellars.
Description
A yellow hue with golden tints and fine, persistent bubbles. Generous and intense on the nose, with notes of candied fruit, dried apricots and almonds, punctuated by aromas of acacia honey and sweet spices. The identity of the 2012 Vintage is revealed on the palate. Density, texture and freshness come together in wonderful harmony. The texture feels generous, offering notes of honey, brioche and dried fruits. The freshness extends and blends delicately into a long and refined finish.
Food Pairing
Pork, Shellfish, Rich fish (salmon, tuna etc), Mild and soft cheese
