NV Champagne Lanson “Black Label” Brut, Champagne, France

ABOUT THE WINE

The “Black Label” Brut from Champagne Lanson is one of Champagne’s classic non-vintage cuvées, crafted to highlight freshness, complexity, and consistency across vintages. Produced from a blend of the region’s traditional grape varieties — Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier — the wine reflects a house style centered on vibrancy and purity.

Lanson is known for avoiding malolactic fermentation in many of its Champagnes, a choice that preserves natural acidity and contributes to the wine’s signature tension and longevity. Extended aging on the lees adds texture and complexity, bringing layered notes of brioche, toasted nuts, and pastry to the wine’s bright citrus and orchard fruit core.

The palate is energetic and finely structured, balancing richness with precision and minerality. Elegant and versatile, “Black Label” Brut is equally suited as an aperitif or alongside oysters, sushi, roast chicken, creamy cheeses, and celebratory cuisine.
