Varietal

Champagne Blend

The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.

Region

Champagne

The beautiful rolling hillsides of the Champagne region of France have, for hundreds of years, been producing many of the world's most famous wines. The sparkling white wines to come out of Champagne's prestigious wineries have conquered the world, and are drank in celebration across the globe. The vast majority of the region is under vine, and grows predominantly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varietals, which are usually blended together by master wine-makers in order to make their recognizable and widely loved produce. The north-easterly region of Champagne has a relatively cool climate, and quite a lot of rainfall, making it far from ideal for ripening grapes. However, the presence of heavily forested areas in the region helps maintain a balanced temperature, and the generations of expertise the wineries hold clearly produces excellent results in spite of the climatic problems.

This is a solid vintage Champagne with depth and structure, as well very fine bubbles that frame the wine beautifully. Full-bodied with fine layers of fruit and lots of flint, stone, chalk, spicy ginger and lime character in the palate. 52% pinot noir and 48% chardonnay. Dosage 7g/L. Disgorged in July 2021. Very drinkable now, but will age beautifully.

This Champagne, still young, has almost equal proportions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. That results in a ripe, balanced wine. Its white fruit is cut with citrus giving a full-bodied mouthfeel. The wine should age further, so drink from 2025.

Pouring a youthful yellow-silver hue, the 2012 Champagne Le Vintage Brut takes things to another level of complexity while retaining good freshness. Lovely aromatics lift from the glass with a perfume of pastry dough and lemon custard, and although it’s medium-bodied, it offers more richness on the palate as well, with a silky texture and a fine, pillowy mousse. It’s rounded and balanced through the palate and has a long finish. This beautiful wine from Lanson is drinking incredibly now, and it will continue to improve over the coming 15 years. Disgorged in September of 2020.

Lanson Le Vintage 2012 is a no malolactic fermentation blend of 52% Pinot Noir and 48% Chardonnay sourced only from selected Grand and Premiere Cru vineyards. Lanson vintage wines are aged for ten years on fine lees before disgorgement, and this 2012 was finished with a seven gram per liter dosage. Almost lemon/lime in color, it is full of freshness and vibrancy on the nose, with ripe orchard fruit, sweet spice, chalk and honey notes. The lively, medium-bodied palate has great fruit purity and concentration that is framed by racy acidity that holds on through a long, honeyed finish. Very clean, fresh and elegant throughout.

A fresh, minerally Champagne, with accents of fleur de sel and oyster shell and flavors of ripe green apple, pink grapefruit sorbet, toast point and pastry cream. This has a light plushness that wraps the bright spine of acidity in a fine, cashmerelike texture. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2030. 250 cases imported.

A blend of 52% Pinot Noir and 48% Chardonnay, the 2012 Brut Le Vintage was disgorged in September 2020 with a dosage of seven grams per liter. It reveals a delicate, perfumed bouquet with aromas of lemon oil, pastry, spring flowers and mandarin orange. Medium to full-bodied, lively and energetic with bright acids, it’s tensile and chiseled, displaying a searing intensity and an acid-driven finish.

Winery Notes

Dense on the attack, rich and complex flavors of pear, quince, traces of citron, very balanced and a persistent finish.
