NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Lanson Le Vintage Champagne displays an elegant golden color with a lively effervescence.The nose is a sophisticated blend of aromas: ripe orchard fruits like white peach and apple, intermingled with citrus notes, toasted brioche, and a hint of almond, indicative of its age and quality. On the palate, Le Vintage expresses a perfect balance between fruitiness and acidity. Layers of lemon, apricot, and subtle berry flavors are enriched by a creamy texture and a nuanced minerality. The finish is long and complex, with a refreshing acidity that is a hallmark of Lanson's style, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and finesse. This Champagne is a superb example of the excellence achievable in vintage Champagne, ideal for special occasions or as a sophisticated accompaniment to fine cuisine.
