The House of Lanson was founded in 1760 by François Delamotte, an influential character in Reims society.

Product notes

Le Blanc de Blancs was created by Herve Dantan, the house winemaker, upon his arrival in 2013 in order to magnify the freshness of the Lanson style, combining it with the finesse of Chardonnay.

Production notes

The fresh and aromatic style of Le Blanc de Blancs comes from a unique savoir-faire based on: •A selection of the finest Crus of Chardonnay, including Oger, Cramant, le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Vertus, Trepail and Montgueux. • The original Champagne vinification method for incom parable freshness. • 40% of reserve wines from a fine collection of Grands and Premiers Crus, matured in oak casks, spread over 20 years. • A longer ageing time in cellar.
