2009 Clos Lanson

Lanson, one of the oldest Champagne House Founded in 1760, Lanson is the fourth oldest Champagne Houses. The Lanson Cross, marked on each bottle, is timelessly emblematic of this philosophy. Hervé Dantan, Lanson Winemaker, carefully crafts elegant wines, that are characterised by an incomparable freshness and vitality. The unique and authentic style of our Champagnes rests on immutable pillars: a meticulous selection of Crus; a vinification according to the traditional Champagne principle; an important collection of reserve wines, and a longer ageing in cellars. Located in the heart of Reims, le Clos Lanson is the only hectare of vineyard to remain within the historical walls of the city. Hidden behind high walls, this single vineyard of chardonnay dating back to the 18th century offers a breathtaking view of the Cathedral. Located just above the House cellars, le Clos Lanson is farmed like a true garden both because of its unique location and the special care it receives on a daily basis. In addition this single vineyard benefits from a very pure, chalky soil and an exceptional microclimate which is favorable for the development of the vine. Each year only a very limited number of vintage bottles are produced.

Flowering was more or less spread out over early June, with a few cool nights. Fruit setting developed well, promising an excellent harvest. The grapes reached maturity during a spell of perfect summer weather, which the Champagne region has not enjoyed since the summer of 2003. The tasting notes The Clos Lanson 2009 is a combination of the minerality, freshness and very delicate woody note of this cuvée, with the unique generosity of the 2009 vintage.
