The Story

"Le Blanc de Blancs is a perfect illustration of Lanson's Chardonnay identity, combining the delicacy and minerality

of the Côte des Blancs with the richness and generosity of the Montagne de Reims." Hervé Dantan, Winemaker

Freshness and vitality being founding principals of Lanson’s style, creating Le Blanc de Blancs was an obvious choice for Hervé Dantan, the Maison’s Winemaker.

The blending of the best Crus from two very different regions offers a unique balance to the wine: the Côte des Blancs producing fine and elegant grapes and the Montagne de Reims giving fleshy and rich grapes. Le Blanc de Blancs has all the characteristics of a great Chardonnay. The delicacy and finesse are enhanced by a very pure, mineral finish and by the freshness that is the hallmark of the Lanson style. As a gastronomic champagne, its ample texture and persistent finish will pair perfectly with fresh, minerally dishes.

We use at least 40% of reserve wines, some aged for over 20 years, for consistency of style and aromatic intensity.

  • 91p

A luminous golden colour with flecks of green and very fine and elegant bubbles.

Fine and deep aromas recall notes of marzipan, dried fruit and candied citrus. Notes of William pear, sesame seeds, lime blossom and aniseed enhance the minerality of the wine. Fresh and invigorating on the palate with aromas
of nougat and zest. Woody hints and a touch of chalkiness give way to a saline, delicate and pure finish.

Light, green yellow colour. Intense nose with apples, dough, truffles and lavender. Dry, crisp, pure fruity palate with intense yeasty character. Long mineral finish with oystershells and wood sorrel. Vibrant! JL 90p (9/9/2020)
