Send Magnum Of Lanson Vintage Collection - 1990 150cl

The result of a historical know-how, judiciously passed, the House of Lanson is one of the few to possess great vintage wines.

The Lanson Vintage Collection brings together vintage wines going back more than a century.

Each year, a small number of bottles from 1976 and beyond are proposed to a restricted circle of connoisseurs, on a quest for oenological emotions.  These wines are admired and coveted by connoisseurs throughout the world.

A Tailor-Made Champagne:

From the outset each bottle is stored in optimal conditions in the historic cellars of the House.

Each acquisition merits tailor made craftsmanship and is handled as a "special order".

Disgorging is done with the bottle upside down à la volée. This operation involves extracting yeast deposits concentrated in the bottle neck.

Wine tasting is carried out by the Wine-maker himself, or a member of his confirmed team to ensure that the Champagne contained within the bottle is in perfect conformity.

Corking, wiring and dressing of the bottle are all effected in the purest of historic Champagne traditions by hand.

The special pouch enveloping this magnificent bottle includes a film by the Wine-maker, detailing the characteristics of the vintage.

Tasting Notes:

The Lanson 1990 displays a golden amber colour with copper hues.

On the nose, powerful honey, fir tree, wax and ginger bread aromas dominate.

The initial impact is full-bodied and complex with honey and sweet flavours of cinnamon and vanilla.

A candied orange finish highlights the great richness of this exceptional vintage.

Grape Variety:

46% Chardonnay, 54% Pinot Noir.

Villages - Avize, Oger, Chouilly, Cramant, Ay, Verzenay, Bouzy
