Lanson 1989 Noble Cuvée Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $120
This tête de cuvée offers everything a Champagne lover seeks: rich, yeasty bread notes on the bouquet; ripe pear, citrus and vanilla flavors; a luxurious mouthfeel; dainty bubbles—the works. While it’s mature, it also seems to have lots of life still in it, meaning it could get better. But why wait? It’s in such a state of grace now.

Lanson NV Extra Age Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
Creamy, textured wine, with a lively mousse and a balance of fine toasty age and fresh citrus fruits. It shows a dry character, firm and mineral, very textured with the weight to make it a food Champagne.

Lanson 1998 Noble Cuvée Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- Online Exclusive
- $125
An intense, full-bodied style, which balances the Pinots and Chardonnay well. It is ripe, with toasty undercurrents, balanced by a delicious citrus and grapefruit crispness and a fine, long lingering aftertaste. There is a light, but discernible sweetness to finish, although it is certainly Brut.

- $150
Part of the new Noble Cuvée range from Lanson (which also includes a Pinot Noir/Chardonnay blend and a rosé. This is feather light, floating with its bubbles and zesty, citrus fruit flavors, and a dry, crisp aftertaste. Very much an aperitif Champagne.

Lanson NV Extra Age Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
A new blend launched in 2009, with the aim of recreating a 19th century style of Champagne without malolactic fermentation, in order to give freshness and the ability to age in bottle. This first bottling already has a fine toasty character, but balanced with the crispest of apples, citrus and a mineral texture. Certainly worth keeping a few bottles, but delicious…

The palest of rosés inside the pinkest of bottles. It is deliciously dry, packed with tight acidity, only hinting at red fruits, a wine that shows crispness, freshness, but also a good weight of ripe citrus and red currant fruits.

Lanson 1997 Gold Label Brut Sparkling (Champagne)

Already, this is a mature wine, and it's delicious. The aromas of toasted brioches and dry fruits confirm this. So does the palate, a layered toasty, nutty wine, with mature acidity and vanilla. Drink now, it's ready.
