The house prides itself on having produced its first rosé in 1833. Made from three Champagne grape varieties (53% Pinot Noir, 32% Chardonnay, 15% Meunier), it contains 35% rosé reserve wines and 7% red wine from Bouzy and Les Riceys. It is aged for four years in the cellar. Rose gold? Wild rose? The pastel color is elegant. The nose, somewhere between pastry and blond tobacco, reveals a pleasant maturity. Black fruit combines with almond in a consistent, indulgent and harmonious palate, perfectly balanced."(Le Guide Hachette 2023)

Wine rated 91/100
Rated estate (2022 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, the pride of French vineyards)
About wine:
Fine, deep, and delicate: an elegant and truly noble prestige cuvée.
About the estate:
Founded in 1760 and located in the heart of Reims with its own garden, Clos Lanson, this historic House celebrated its 260th anniversary this year with one major goal: to regain its former glory. With 550 hectares of its own land and 16 hectares of organic and biodynamic viticulture, it has access to a total of more than 100 different crus, 50% of which are grands crus and premiers crus. Over the past several years, significant investments have been made to optimize the production process, including a parcel-by-parcel fermentation room, a cellar dedicated to reserve wines, and a new pressing center. The cuvées reflect the investment in reserve wine storage methods and their extended depth, as well as the decision to no longer systematically practice malolactic fermentation. Aging times have been extended, dosages are meticulously calculated, and the packaging has been superbly redesigned, right down to a back label that provides highly detailed technical information that is very useful to consumers today. The wines now possess an extra soul that connects consumers to the maturity of the style and the splendid mosaics.

Rated estate (2022 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About wine:
The wine has a lovely intense color, with an open nose marked by red fruits, macerated cherries, and spices. The nose is quite refined, and the reserve wines add complexity. The palate remains consistent in terms of harmony, with precise fruit. The dosage is slightly off at the moment, but this will not be a problem in the future.
About the estate:
Founded in 1760, the brand has been the flagship of the publicly traded Lanson-BCC group since its acquisition in 2006. Since 2018, the house, which exports more than 80% of its production, has been chaired by François Van Aal. Cellar master Hervé Dantan continues the Lanson style with predominantly Pinot champagnes, which no longer undergo systematic malolactic fermentation, characterized by a taut freshness and built for aging.

About wine:
A lively, fruity rosé with light peach and strawberry notes. Mandarin oranges too. Medium-bodied with a creamy texture. This is a blended wine with only 7% red wine. Lovely red fruit with the same freshness. Very fresh and lively.
