Product Overview
This wine includes a gift box.
The non-vintage Lanson Black Label Brut owes its name to Victor Lanson, who in 1937, wanted to pay tribute to the House’s leading market, Great Britain. The color black, the symbol of elegance, was a natural choice for this Champagne dominated by Pinot Noir. It represents a balanced alliance of power and elegance, freshness and complexity. It has the taste of spring and subtle hints of long-lasting honey-dew. Notes of ripe and citrus fruits give a sensation of lightness and fullness with a long, fresh finish. Black Label is perfect as an aperitif and a call to celebration.

91 Points - Wine Spectator
"A bright, accessible version, with well-cut, citrusy acidity and a lively, lightly creamy mousse carrying flavors of grainy green pear, ripe raspberry and grilled nut, showing a touch of chalky mineral. Disgorged January 2018. Drink now through 2021. 7,000 cases imported." -AN, 12/15/19

"The classic Lanson nonvintage label sums up the dry style of the house, with its emphasis on crisp fruit, a taut, almost mineral texture and an ability to age in the bottle. It can be drunk now although it will mature further." -RV, 12/1/19

"Disgorged in January 2018, the latest release of Lanson's NV Brut Black Label is showing well, offering up aromas of warm biscuits, crisp orchard fruit, dried citrus rind and toasted brioche. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied and crisp but fleshy, with the house's non-malo style tempered by a generous core of fruit, concluding with a long, chalky finish. This is a very creditable non-vintage cuvée that has the cut and structure to evolve in the cellar." -WK, 8/30/19

"(50% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Meunier, with 11 g/l dosage; disgorged in May, 2013): Light gold. Aromas of nectarine, pear and lemon curd, with subtle ginger, lees and floral accents. Sappy orchard and citrus fruit flavors are given spine by tangy acidity and pick up spiciness and a chalky nuance with air. Powerful yet lithe and focused, finishing with very good clarity and length and lingering spiciness." -JR, Jan/2015
