Lanson Le Creation Black NV
Champagne
Description
Champagne Lanson is one of the oldest Champagne houses, founded in 1760, with a long-standing reputation for producing wines that emphasise freshness and clarity. Based in Reims, the house draws fruit from a wide range of crus across the Champagne region, allowing for consistency and balance in its non-vintage blends.
Lanson’s style is defined by its minimal use of malolactic fermentation, which helps preserve natural acidity and gives the wines their characteristic tension and brightness. Ageing on lees adds complexity and texture, while the blend is carefully constructed to maintain a house signature that is crisp, precise, and food-friendly rather than overly rich.
Colour:
Bright pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles.
Nose:
Fresh citrus and green apple lead, followed by notes of brioche, white flowers, and a hint of honey. Subtle mineral nuances add depth.
Palate:
Light- to medium-bodied with lively acidity and a fine mousse. Flavours of lemon, apple, and pear are supported by gentle notes of biscuit and toast from lees ageing. The style is clean and focused, with a refreshing, dry profile.
Finish:
Crisp and persistent, with lingering citrus, light brioche, and a refreshing mineral edge.

Lanson Le Creation Black NV
- Food Pairing : Lanson Le Création Black Label NV is highly versatile with food, thanks to its freshness and fine acidity. It pairs beautifully with oysters and other fresh seafood, where its crispness enhances natural salinity. It also works well with sushi, light canapés, or soft cheeses. For something more substantial, try it with roast chicken or creamy mushroom dishes, where the acidity cuts through richness while the subtle brioche notes complement savoury flavours.
