Order

"Le Vintage 2014 perfectly embodies the character of Lanson’s greatest Vintages. Born of a year of contrasts, it reveals a refined wine with great finesse and exceptional brilliance."

Hervé Dantan, Cellar Master

For Le Vintage, Maison Lanson selects only the finest grapes from plots in the Grand and Premier Crus regions. This great wine is made according to the original principle of Champagne vinification, without malolactic fermentation. It matures for at least 9 years in the Cellars, to achieve a unique aromatic complexity. The passion and patience of our people give rise to champagnes of great aromatic intensity, enable to transcend time gracefully, without ever losing their characteristic freshness.

The year 2014

2014 was a year marked by particularly contrasting weather conditions. A mild, rainy autumn and winter transitioned into a prolonged dry spell. Summer bore an autumnal touch, with cool temperatures and frequent rainfall. September welcomed the return of radiant sunshine, enabling the grapes to reach perfect ripeness and paving the way for a wonderful harvest. Predominantly composed of Pinot Noir, Le Vintage 2014 emerges as a wine of great finesse, radiating exceptional brilliance.

Tasting notes

Eye

The Vintage displays a bright, dazzling gold colour.

Nose

The nose delivers an intense, generous, exquisite bouquet. Vibrant candied citrus fruits intertwine seamlessly with delicate notes of nougat and praline, delivering profound aromatic complexity.

Palate

The palate is intensely fruity. Flavours of candied lemon and marzipan prolong the perception of sweet delicacies picked up on the nose, creating a chiselled wine that is both intense and well-defined. The lingering finish enchants with its delicacy.
