LANSON GOLD LABEL BRUT VINTAGE 1998 CHAMPAGNE

The best of the best for the very best...

The House of Lanson makes the difficult choice to declare vintages only in years that can truly be considered exceptional. 1904, 1928, 1955, 1971, 1976, 1983 and 1990 are great Vintages that have gradually built the reputation of Champagne Lanson. Nowadays, Lanson is particularly famous for its collection of Vintage Champagnes.

With no malolactic fermentation, Lanson champagnes are full of promise, enjoying an ageing process which gives them excellent potential for laying down.

Aged for at least five years in cellars, each Lanson vintage develops the aromas and flavours that typify the chosen year whilst also reinforcing the pillars of the Unique Style of the House : fruitiness, freshness and power.

Tasting Notes:

A straw-yellow colour, slightly amber. On the nose, aromas of dried fig, apricot and pear, mixed with overtones of biscuit. In the mouth, a delicate impact, great fullness and a satisfying, lively finish.

Food Pairing:

A supreme example of full-bodied wine exhibiting delicacy and elegance. Best enjoyed at special meal occasions, particularly suited to accompany fish and white meat.

Assemblage:

Blend: 50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir.

Background Information:

One of the oldest Champagne houses, Lanson was founded in 1760 by Francois Delamotte, a magistrate from the Reims. The values and expertise that created the unique and enduring style of Champagne Lanson have been handed down from generation to generation. Since 1760, this has been the guiding philosophy of the successive generations that have promoted Lanson throughout the world.

Centuries in the dedicated pursuit of perfection have established the House of Lanson as one of the premier champagne makers. Today, the marriage of a contemporary dynamism with age-old tradition brings pleasure to millions the world over.

Champagne Lanson is one of the few houses in the Champagne region that chooses not to use malolactic fermentation. This decision guarantees the freshness and optimal development of the wines' flavours, allowing vintages to mature fully and evolve their complete array of aromas.
