"Tasting Clos Lanson invites you on a journey to our iconic parcel in the heart of Reims. It offers the unique signature of a wine with great personality."

Hervé Dantan, Cellar Master

Le Clos Lanson is the only hectare of vineyard to remain within the historical walls of the city. 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 benefits from a very pure, chalky soil and an exceptional microclimate which is favourable for the development of complex notes, giving life to a precious wine with exceptional mineral aromas.

2011

Le Clos is made from a selection of the finest Chardonnays from a single plot farmed under the biodynamic principles and certified HVE since 2019. The grapes are vinified in oak barrels from the Argonne forest during few months.The wine thus develops aromas of great finesse.

The year 2011

2011 was characterised by an unprecedentedly early growing season. Despite a marked drought inspring, summer rains encouraged the bunches to ripen quickly. The harvest began on 19th August,under once again clement skies, and required meticulous sorting to ensure that only the healthiestgrapes were selected. This Vintage reveals grapes with pronounced aromatic richness, supported bygood ripeness and moderate acidity.
