Champagne Lanson Le Black Réserve Extra Brut 12.5% ABV, in a 0.75 l bottle, is a particularly sophisticated cuvée from the long-established Champagne Lanson house and embodies a modern interpretation of the characteristic Lanson style. Freshness, precision and exceptional elegance are at the heart of this blend, which originates from the finest terroirs in Champagne. Le Black Réserve was created for connoisseurs who appreciate a champagne with depth, complexity and a particularly low dosage.


The blend consists of 50% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 15% Meunier, combining grapes from around 80 selected crus, including numerous Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards. An exceptionally high proportion of 40% reserve wines ensures additional complexity and consistency. Characteristic of the House of Lanson is the extensive avoidance of malolactic fermentation in around 75% of the wines, thereby preserving their freshness and vibrancy over the long term. The cuvée is then aged for at least five years in the house’s cellars, during which time it develops its remarkable depth and harmony. With a dosage of just 5 g/l, this French champagne is particularly precise, terroir-driven and elegant.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Lanson Le Black Réserve Extra Brut displays a brilliant golden colour with a fine, long-lasting perlage. On the nose, delicate aromas of white flowers and candied fruit unfold, followed by notes of calisson and chestnut cream. As it breathes, further nuances of toasty notes, vanilla and delicate praline emerge. On the palate, the high proportion of Pinot Noir provides structure and depth, with hints of strawberry jam and tarte Tatin. Chardonnay brings precision, minerality and freshness with notes of honeysuckle and orange zest, whilst Meunier contributes delicate nuances of acacia honey. The silky, crystalline perlage lends the champagne additional energy and elegance. The finish is precise, harmonious and exceptionally long-lasting.

Residual sugar: 5 g/l
