Lanson Champagne
Crisp Reims Champagne, poured in Commack for three decades.
The story behind Lanson
Lanson has been made in Reims since 1760, one of the oldest houses in Champagne. The house blocks malolactic fermentation in its base wines, which keeps the acidity bright and the fruit forward, and it ages its non vintage cuvees well past the legal minimum. That is why a bottle of Lanson tastes lean and chalky rather than creamy.
We have carried the Black Label for years and watched it outlast plenty of fashionable labels. The style rewards people who like tension in a glass. Pinot Noir leads the blend, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier fill it out, and the finish stays dry and clean.

Three bottles cover the house style, from the dry Black Label Brut to the softer White Label and the red fruit Rose.

Dry and chalky, it wakes up a palate before dinner without weighing it down.
Softer dosage handles fruit tarts and cakes better than a bone dry brut.
Red fruit and a dry finish make it the bottle people photograph and finish.
