LE BLACK CRÉATION 258

2018 was a year of exceptional quality, offering near-perfect weather conditions, that were both hot and dry. The warm sunshine, which continued into very late autumn, allowed the vines to develop in their own time. They were protected from any disease or water stress, as the very wet winter had allowed for plenty of water to be stored. The early harvests began on 20 August. Respecting the unique character of each parcel made it possible to harvest rich and complex Pinot Noirs. The Chardonnays revealed a freshness and exceptional elegance, while the Meuniers stood out for their remarkable softness, revealing wonderful notes of fruit and spice.

Each Création has a unique recipe that is revealed through the QR code displayed on each back label. This new tool allows all connoisseurs to discover the secrets behind their Création, and marks a new chapter in the desire for transparency.

EYE - Amber shimmers are reflected in a gleaming colour with a fine stream of bubbles.

NOSE - A bouquet of tangy fruit among which aromas of William pear, apple and citrus are precisely identifiable. After a few minutes, aromas of freshly-baked pastries appear.

PALATE - Generous with flavours of ripe orchard fruit, notes of mandarin, lemon and grapefruit that burst on the palate, providing a sensation of freshness. Maturity is expressed through notes of brioche and dried fruit.

The Black Création Spirit

“Recreating the finest expression of the Lanson style with each harvest is a duty of memory and a challenge that requires creativity and humility towards nature. Each Création is unique and writes a new page in our story, one that we share with the utmost transparency”.
Hervé Dantan | Winemaker at Maison Lanson

A velvet revolution

Combining a sense of heritage with expertise, Lansons Winemakers have perpetuated for over 260 years a characterful, fresh and elegant style, with there multi-vintage brut as its signature.

When he joined as Winemaker in 2013, Hervé Dantan set about enriching this heritage. By adapting to the uniqueness of each harvest, he redesigned the production facility, reshaped there expertise and worked to develop cultural practices to take the precision of our blends even further.

Hervé Dantan redefines Le Black Label with Le Black Création.

The single-parcel approach

They benefit from a unique colour palette available to them in order to compose the blends in line with the Lanson identity and with the perfect balance gifted to us by nature.

They practise committed viticulture based on a proximity to our vineyards and a comprehensive understanding of the specificity of each terroir, which allows Lanson to be even more meticulous in selecting our grapes on the estates of our partner growers and our own Lanson vineyards.

An assertive style

The Winemakers have always preserved the original principle of Champagne vinification, with predominantly non-malolactic fermentation. This historic expertise allows the wines to retain a wonderful vitality and great aromatic richness over the years.

Mindful of this founding vision, Hervé Dantan set himself a technical challenge by combining this traditional method with a small proportion of wines that have been through malolactic fermentation.

The Lanson style is asserted and shaped over time. Each Création spends four years in our cellars.
