THE CUVEE
—
Lanson is one of the very first Champagne Houses to have developed a blended rosé since 1833. A forerunner of the genre, it was in 1949 that the Lanson family decided to make it a distinctive cuvée with the characteristic freshness of the House's style. The subtle addition of red wines from emblematic Crus such as Bouzy or Les Ricesy, the exclusive use of rosé reserve wines and the original vinification method, predominantly without malolactic fermentation, give it an unmistakable pale colour with salmon highlights, a fruity aroma and a finesse that distinguish it from other rosé Champagnes. Its delicate notes make it the ideal aperitif for a long summer evening, a picnic on fine days or the elegant accompaniment to a refined dessert.
THE WINE:
The grapes are selected from around sixty Crus, half of which are Grand and Premier Crus, to obtain precision and elegance. 25 to 30% of rosé reserve wines are used, some of which are aged for over 10 years, to ensure a consistent style and aromatic intensity.
The nose recalls aromas of rose and light notes of red berries. On the palate the first sensation develops softly, then continues towards a long finish. Its originality is the most attractive characteristic of this rosé, together with the harmonious balance between fruit and delicacy.
Serving temperature : 8°-10° C.
