About this Item
Based in Reims and established in 1760 by Francis Delamotte, Maison Lanson is one of the oldest Champagne houses and has maintained their family traditions, values and independence for 260 years. The origin of the Lanson Cross dates back to 1798, when the founder's son, then a member of the Hospitaller’s Order of Malta (the oldest charity worldwide), decided to utilise the Maltese Cross to fashion the emblem of Lanson. The house is best known for its Black Label cuvée and its prestige release, the Clos Lanson, but also produces a Brut, Blanc de Blancs and a Rosé. The range is topped by a trio of Noble Cuvée wines, made from selected Grand Cru vineyards.
The Noble Cuvée is one of Maison Lanson's prestige cuvées, representing the pinnacle of the estate's winemaking prowess. It is crafted from carefully selected grapes sourced from the finest vineyard sites in Champagne, with a focus on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes.

Critics Ratings
‘Racy acidity and fine texture frame this smoky version, with roast nut and oyster shell accents to the subtle flavors of buttered brioche, glazed apple and pear, spring blossom and lemon zest. Drink now through 2020.’ - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, 93/100
'Vivid yellow-gold. High-pitched, mineral-accented aromas of fresh orchard fruits, nectarine and lemon zest, with a honeyed nuance adding depth. Sappy and powerful on the palate, offering intense, smoke-accented pear and candied citrus fruit flavors and notes of ginger and chamomile. Smoothly blends power and vivacity on the finish, which features suave floral and Meyer lemon qualities.’ - Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 91/100 (Nov 2013)
