Lanson Noble Brut Vintage Champagne 2012

The Champagne region, located in northeastern France, is renowned worldwide as the birthplace of this sparkling and the prestigious area includes key cities such as Reims and Épernay. The region’s unique terroir—marked by chalky soils, cool climate, and rolling hills—creates ideal conditions for cultivating Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes. Strict regulations govern the production of Champagne, ensuring quality through methods like secondary fermentation in the bottle. Lanson was founded in 1760 in Reims and is one of the oldest Champagne houses in the world. One of Lanson’s most distinctive characteristics is its avoidance of malolactic fermentation—a process that softens acidity in wine. By skipping this step, Lanson preserves the natural freshness, crisp acidity, and aging potential of its Champagnes, giving them a vibrant, zesty profile. Prestige Cuvées like Noble Champagne may be aged 8 to 10 years or more before release, showcasing remarkable elegance and minerality. It has delicious notes of lemon, pear and bergamot with flavours of biscuit and hazelnut. Try it with delicate and rich dishes like shellfish or mild, soft cheeses.
