Le Black-Creation, a signature bottling from Lanson, boasts a fresh and elegant character.
2017 exemplifies the uniqueness of each harvest. After a record-high winter and spring, an intense frost from April 16th to 21st damaged the vines. This was followed by a warm and sunny summer that ended in torrential downpours and hailstorms.
The harvests took place between August 29th and September 11th, 2017. These conditions benefitted the Chardonnays, giving them an unusual elegance and freshness. The Pinots Noirs displayed an intense fruity character, while the Pinots Meuniers from the Vallée de la Marne showcased generosity and suppleness.
Available in a 750ml bottle, at 12.5% abv.
TASTING NOTES
Tangy fruit on the nose along with apple, pear and freshly baked pastries. This then leads to generous notes of ripe orchard fruit on the palate, alongside notes of mandarin, lemon and grapefruit.
Serving Suggestions
Best served between 6-8°C. Try pairing this Champagne with food - a mushroom ravioli with parmesan shavings or salmon fish & chips with sweet potato fries.
