The Story

Lanson is one of the rare champagne Houses to have a collection of century-old vintages: the Lanson Vintage Collection. Our vintages take time to mature in the cellar and develop extraordinary aromas. 1904, 1928, 1955, 1971, 1976, 1983 and 1990 are great vintages that have built up the reputation of our Maison, generation after generation.
