ABOUT THIS WINE
WINEMAKER NOTES
Lanson Père & Fils Brut Champagne represents a remarkable expression of one of Champagne's most historic houses, combining centuries of winemaking heritage with an extraordinary depth of flavor and refinement. Named after the very first bottle of Champagne Lanson ever produced, Père & Fils is an enriched evolution of the celebrated Lanson Le Black Label Brut, offering an altogether more mature, complex and luxurious drinking experience. Aged for a minimum of five years in Lanson's historic cellars, this exceptional Champagne has the time necessary to develop its remarkable aromatic complexity, richness and elegant personality.
What makes Lanson Père & Fils Brut particularly compelling is the remarkable composition behind the wine. Crafted from a carefully selected collection of the finest Champagne Crus, the blend draws upon ten different vintages, bringing together distinct expressions of fruit, structure and maturity. This multi vintage approach creates a Champagne of impressive depth and consistency, balancing the freshness and precision expected of great Champagne with the layered richness that only extended cellar aging can achieve. The result is a beautifully integrated wine that delivers considerably more complexity than its designation as a Brut might suggest.
The aromatic profile is immediately captivating, with a delicate stream of tiny, persistent bubbles releasing enticing aromas of ripe orchard fruit, honey and exotic spice. There is an inviting richness to the bouquet, yet nothing feels heavy or overly opulent. On the palate, honeydew melon emerges alongside ripe fruit nuances, complemented by subtle honeyed characteristics and a beautifully polished texture. The mousse is refined and persistent, carrying the wine's flavors across the palate with remarkable finesse. Beneath the richness lies a vibrant freshness that keeps everything focused, balanced and refreshing, culminating in a clean, elegant finish that invites another sip.
The heritage behind this Champagne is equally impressive. Founded in 1760 and still family run in Reims, Lanson remains one of Champagne's oldest and most respected houses, with a longstanding Royal Warrant and an unwavering commitment to traditional craftsmanship. The grapes are sourced from prestigious Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, including Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger. These celebrated Chardonnay growing villages contribute the finesse, mineral character and elegance that make this Champagne so distinctive.
Lanson Père & Fils Brut is an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a Champagne that delivers both immediate pleasure and genuine complexity. Enjoy it as an aperitif or bring it to the dinner table alongside grilled lobster, seared scallops, poached chicken or delicate cream sauces. Its combination of mature richness, fine bubbles and refreshing acidity makes it particularly versatile with fine cuisine. For Champagne enthusiasts and collectors of exceptional French sparkling wine alike, Père & Fils offers a sophisticated opportunity to experience the heritage and craftsmanship of Maison Lanson in a particularly rewarding expression.

A golden colour enhanced by a beautiful fine stream of bubbles. Very expressive on the nose, dominated by fruity notes of pear, apricot and candied fruit, lifted by honeyed and floral notes with an intense bouquet of acacia and linden blossom. Dense and generous on the palate at first, with rich and fruity flavours of pear, quince and accents of citron. Gentle acidity and freshness on the finish, which is perfectly balanced and persistent.
In 2009, the grapes reached maturity following a perfect summertime which the Champagne region had not known since 2003. The weather was hot, dry and extremely sunny for veraison in the last two weeks of August. Thanks to a rainy period at the beginning of September, the grapes were able to fatten before harvest. The prompt return of hot weather on the 5th of September enabled the grapes to reach maturity under perfect conditions and to give a great richness to the wines.
Blend: 52% Pinot Noir, 48% Chardonnay
