About Lanson
Lanson is one of the most prestigious Champagne houses in the world, founded in 1760 in Reims at the heart of the Champagne region. With over 260 years of winemaking heritage, Lanson has earned its place among the grandes marques of Champagne. The house is particularly famous as the Official Champagne of Wimbledon, a partnership that has become synonymous with British summer and sporting celebration. What distinguishes Lanson from many other Champagne houses is their choice to avoid malolactic fermentation - a secondary fermentation that softens acidity in most wines. By skipping this step, Lanson Champagnes retain a fresher, crisper character with vibrant acidity and pronounced fruit flavours. This house style makes their Champagnes particularly food-friendly and refreshing. The Lanson range available in UK supermarkets includes several expressions. Le Black Création (formerly Black Label) is their flagship non-vintage Champagne, offering the classic Lanson style at an accessible price point. The Wimbledon Edition adds special tennis-themed packaging for the tournament season. Le Rosé Label delivers the elegant pink Champagne that's become popular for celebrations. The Blanc de Blancs, made entirely from Chardonnay grapes, showcases the grape's elegance with even more refinement. Lanson's Wimbledon connection has made it particularly popular during the summer tennis season, but their quality makes them suitable for any celebration throughout the year. The brand sits in the accessible luxury segment - prestigious enough for special occasions while not being prohibitively expensive. For UK Champagne lovers seeking quality without the very top-tier prices, Lanson offers excellent value.
