"Light, copper-tinted pink color. Fresh, brisk, understate aromas of wild strawberry, lemon cream and toast. Supple and surprisingly gentle on the palate, with red berry and brioche qualities along with a touch of seashell. This holds together nicely through the fresh, almost racy finish". Stephen Tanzer - IWC
One of the oldest Champagne houses, Lanson was founded in 1760 by Francois Delamoite, a magistrate from Reims. His son, Nicolas-Louis, a Knight of the Order of Malta, succeeded him in 1798, and in 1828, he formed a partnership with Jean-Baptiste Lanson. In 1837 he gave the company the name of Lanson et Cie. Forward-thinking and ambitious, Jean-Baptiste set out to conquer the newly emerging, export markets, exporting champagne to England, Holland and Russia. In 1848, they moved into new premises on Boulevard Lundy in Reims & the beautiful cellars in the Rue de Courlancy were acquired in the early 1900s
By the late 19th Century, Lanson was supplying champagne by royal appointment to the courts of England, Sweden and Spain. This success continued throughout the 20th Century and, today, the same ambitious spirit to conquer new markets has established Lanson as a Grande Maison, worldwide. Lanson champagnes are the fruit of centuries of tradition. Their quality stems from the combination of age-old methods with a continually fresh desire to create.
