Champagne Lanson - Gold Label Millésime 2009

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2021
(around 59 euros per bottle)

 

 

Aspect:

 

Gold, dense and brilliant.

 

Refined and endless effervescence.

 

Nose:

 

Generous and exciting.

 

Radiant fragrances of red and black fruits, characteristic signs of the Pinot Noir (53%) from Aÿ, Bouzy, Verzenay and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, highlighted by the outstanding finesse of the Chardonnay (47%) chosen in Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Trépail, with its delicate touches of white fruits and candied citrus fruits.

Palate:

 

The splendid purity of the opening, reinforced by the timely stop of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines and underlined by the minerality, slowly unveils a joyful fullness obtained by 10 years of ageing of the bottles on laths.

 

For this Gold Label Millésime 2009, Hervé Dantan, cellar master, was able to orchestrate the inspired meeting of the best terroirs (Premiers and Grands Crus) to perpetuate the art of blending, signature of the Champagne house Lanson.
