Tasting Notes: To the eye the Noble Cuvée presents a light gold colour animated by very fine bubbles and a very persistent line of foam. Aromas of preserved citrus and white flowers develop alongside roasting and mineral notes. In the mouth the attack is dense and fresh, opening with complex flavours that evoke citrus, pear, spices and honey with a touch of minerality. The Noble Cuvée Brut Vintage is an incomparable accompaniment for all meals, particularly white meat and fish dishes. This Champagne will still remain fresh, delicious and magnificent over many years. Grape Variety: 70% Chardonnay Grand Cru: Avize, Mesnil-Sur-Oger, Cramant and Oger 30% Pinot Noir Grand Cru: Verzenay Technical Characteristics: Ageing: 12 years on slats Dosage: 6 g/l Background Information: The Noble Cuvée embodies all the excellence of this renowned Champagne House. The fruity, grape flavour and freshness so characteristic of this style are admirably conveyed and enhanced by the extreme delicacy of the Chardonnay grape, which is one of the major components of the blends for this Grande Cuvée. Produced from a careful selection of grapes from Grand Crus only, Noble Cuvée is the very essence of the Lanson Style. One of the oldest champagne house, Lanson was founded in 1760 by Francois Delamotte, a magistrate from the Reims. The values and expertise that created the unique and enduring style of Champagne Lanson have been handed down from generation to generation. Since 1760, this has been the guiding philosophy of the successive generations that have promoted Lanson throughout the world. Centuries in the dedicated pursuit of perfection have established the House of Lanson as one of the premier champagne makers. Today, the marriage of a contemporary dynamism with age-old tradition brings pleasure to millions the world over. Champagne Lanson is one of the few houses in the Champagne region that chooses not to use malolactic fermentation. This decision guarantees the freshness and optimal development of the wines’ flavours, allowing vintages to mature fully and evolve their complete array of aromas.
