Le Black Création

Combining a sense of heritage and savoir-faire, Lanson has been perpetuating for over 260 years a fresh and elegant style, with our Black Création as its signature. This Champagne enhances the unique character of each harvest through the tailored work combining creativity and precision. Each Création comes with a number in reference to the number of harvests that have taken place since the House was founded in 1760.

"Recreating the finest expression of the Lanson style with each harvest is a duty to remember and a challenge that demands creativity and humility in the face of nature. Each Creation is unique and writes a new page in our history, which we share in complete transparency."

Hervé Dantan, Cellar Master

A velvet revolution

From the moment he joined as Cellar Master in 2013, Hervé Dantan has been committed to enriching the House’s heritage. 

Adapting to the unique characteristics of each harvest, he rethinks our winemaking processes, reshapes our expertise, and works to evolve our viticultural practices to further refine the precision of our blends. Hervé Dantan reinvents Le Black Label with “ Le Black Création.” Each “Création” is assigned a number corresponding to the number of blends created since the House’s founding in 1760.

The single-parcel approach

Le Black Création reflects the diversity of terroirs in Champagne. We have a unique colour palette available to us in order to compose our blends in line with the Lanson identity and with the right balance gifted to us by nature.

We practise committed viticulture based on a proximity to our vineyards and a comprehensive understanding of the specificity of each terroir, which allows us to be even more meticulous in selecting our grapes on the estates of our partner growers and our own Lanson vineyards.

The reserve wines culture

Over the centuries, our Cellar Masters have built a veritable library of reserve wines spanning over 20 years. To take the aromatic depth of our blends even further, in 2013 Hervé Dantan established a “perpetual reserve”, maintained every year from the previous blend.

A part of this reserve wine, aged in stainless steel, is a mark of identity. The other, aged in oak, is guided towards its finest expression through this additional breathability that is only possible with wood.

An assertive style

Our Cellar Masters have always preserved the original principle of Champagne vinification, with predominantly non-malolactic fermentation. This historic expertise allows the wines to retain a wonderful vitality and great aromatic richness over the years. Mindful of this founding vision, Hervé Dantan set himself a technical challenge by combining this traditional method with a small proportion of wines that have been through malolactic fermentation. This demanding practise allows us to diversify the profile of our wines.

The Lanson style is asserted and shaped over time. Each Création spends 4 years in our Cellars.

Tasting notes

Eye

Amber shimmers are reflected in a gleaming colour with a fine
stream of bubbles.

Nose

A bouquet of tangy fruit among which aromas of William pear, apple and citrus are precisely identifiable. After a few minutes, aromas of freshly-baked pastries appear.

Palate

Generous with flavours of ripe orchard fruit, notes of mandarin, lemon and grapefruit that burst on the palate, providing a sensation of freshness. Maturity is expressed through notes of brioche and dried fruit.
