"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.

2012

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 2012

2012 was marked by a series of contrasting weather conditions. After a harsh winter with severe frosts and a turbulent spring of rain and hail, the summer sunshine brought providential conditions. Beneath this generous sun, the grapes ripened slowly until harvest, which began at Le Clos Lanson on September 14th. Le Clos Lanson 2012 reveals grapes of remarkable concentration, offering a rare balance between aromatic intensity and great freshness.

Tasting notes

Eye

A pale golden hue with delicate green shimmers, illuminated by a fine stream of bubbles.

Nose

The nose, both expressive and concentrated, opens with notes of vine peach and candied citrus. With aeration, it evolves towards nuances of toasted almond and vanilla, enhanced by a subtle touch of coconut and pineapple.

Palate

The attack is precise and chiselled, before the palate unfolds with breadth and generosity. It reveals an aromatic profile dominated by lemon, subtly enriched by pastry notes and nougat. The finish is long and persistent, carried by an elegant, structuring salinity.
