Le Black Label Brut owes its iconic name to Victor Lanson who gave it in 1937, both as
a proof of openness to the world and as a tribute to the Royal Court of England which
Lanson has been supplying since 1900. The authentic style of Le Black Label Brut is crafted
from a rich and diverse palette of wines that highlight the full diversity of Champagne
terroir. Our method stays true to the origins of Champagne – for the most part without
malolactic fermentation – conveying a unique freshness. The meticulous selection of the
Crus - including historical cornerstones such as Dizy, Verzenay or Trépail – and the strong
presence of reserve wines preserve the constancy of the style across the years. The lengthy
ageing process, three times longer than the official requirements of the appellation, allows Le
Black Label Brut to combine perfectly both maturity and vitality. Its freshness and elegance
will seduce both the sprightly enthusiast and the most seasoned of connoisseurs. Le Black
Label Brut perfectly complements an aperitif, for a precious moment shared with those
who matter and for those small pleasures of everyday life.
Lanson is one of the pioneer Houses to have produced a blended rosé, as early as 1833. It
was in 1949 that the Lanson family decided to make a cuvée with the characteristic freshness
of the Maison's style. The subtle addition of red wines - from emblematic Crus such as
Bouzy or Les Riceys - the exclusive use of rosé reserve wines and the original vinification
method, for the most part without malolactic fermentation, give it a unique pale, salmon
colour – it bestows a fruitiness and a finesse that combined, distinguish it from other rosé
Champagnes. Its delicate notes make it the ideal aperitif for a long summer evening, a picnic or
the elegant accompaniment to a gourmet dessert.
