Lanson Le Reserve Extra Brut Gift Boxed 75cl

Description

Lanson Le Réserve Extra Brut 75cl Gift Boxed is a statement of Maison Lanson’s long-standing expertise in blending and cellar management. Crafted for gastronomy, this Extra Brut cuvée balances freshness and depth through a high proportion of reserve wines and extended ageing, resulting in an elegant Champagne that rewards careful tasting.

Composed of 50% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 15% Meunier, with 45% reserve wines and a minimum of five years ageing, Le Réserve is vinified with non-malolactic fermentation for around 75% of the blend and finished at a precise dosage of 5g/l. The result is a luminous, refined wine whose crystalline mousse and persistent bead underline its finesse.

• Style: Extra Brut, gastronomic Champagne, structured and refined.
• Blend: 50% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay, 15% Meunier.

• Dosage & vinification: 5g/l dosage; approximately 75% of the blend retained without malolactic fermentation.

Tasting profile: On the eye, a luminous golden hue and fine, persistent bubbles. The nose opens with delicate white flower and candied fruit aromas, evolving to calisson and chestnut cream; with aeration further layers of toasted bread, vanilla and praline emerge. The palate is driven by Pinot Noir, which brings structure and depth with nuances of strawberry jam and tarte Tatin. Chardonnay lends minerality, precision and freshness with hints of honeysuckle and orange peel, while Meunier contributes subtle acacia honey harmony. The silky, crystalline bubble magnifies the wine’s freshness and fluidity, achieving a poised balance between energy and richness.

Maison Lanson’s attention to reserve wines and extended ageing demonstrates traditional craftsmanship and an insistence on cellar maturity rather than immediate youth. Le Réserve exemplifies the house’s philosophy: careful selection of crus, meticulous blending and restrained dosage to favour terroir expression and gastronomic compatibility.

Serve chilled but not iced (around 8–10°C) to preserve aromatic clarity and structure. This Champagne is particularly well suited to refined cuisine: seafood, shellfish and delicate fish preparations, as well as richer poultry or creamy dishes where acidity and subtle richness can lift flavours. It also stands superbly on its own as an aperitif for those who appreciate precision and mineral drive.
