WINE MAKING PROCESS
Lanson Le Blanc de Blancs Brut is produced using the traditional method (méthode Champenoise), involving a second fermentation in the bottle. The primary fermentation of the base wines is managed with a focus on retaining freshness, often by limiting malolactic fermentation. The wine then undergoes an extended aging process, with a minimum of five years in Lanson's cellars, including time spent on lees. A crucial element of the blend is the incorporation of reserve wines, some of which are aged for over two decades, contributing to the wine's consistency and aromatic complexity.
