Champagne Lanson Le Black Création 259 Brut 12.5% ABV, in a 0.75 l bottle, embodies a modern interpretation of the famous Lanson style whilst reflecting more than 260 years of champagne tradition. Under the guidance of cellar master Hervé Dantan, who has shaped the house’s development since 2013, the legendary Le Black Label Cuvée has been reimagined and further developed as Le Black Création. The number 259 represents the number of blends created since the founding of Champagne Lanson in 1760, making each Création a unique expression of its vintage.


The cuvée combines a careful selection of the finest terroirs in Champagne with an impressive library of reserve wines spanning more than 20 years. This is complemented by the ‘eternal reserve’ introduced by Hervé Dantan, which is expanded annually with wines from the most recent blend. Part of this reserve matures in stainless steel tanks, whilst another part matures in wooden barrels, lending additional complexity and depth. Another characteristic of Lanson is the extensive avoidance of malolactic fermentation, which allows the wines to retain their freshness, vibrancy and longevity. Each Création matures for around four years in the house’s cellars before being released. The result is a premium French champagne that combines elegance, freshness and aromatic depth in perfect balance.
