Lanson Champagne Noble Cuvée de Lanson Brut 2000

Direct from Lanson Cellars - the 2000 Vintage Noble Cuvée is the ultimate expression of the Lanson style based on a rigorous selection of grapes exclusively from Grands Crus vineyards Verzenay, Avize and Oger. For the Brut, only 10 vintages were selected in the last 30 years, which makes this mature Champagne something very special indeed.

The Blend: 70% Chardonnay & 30% Pinot Noir

98 Points - Stuart McCloskey "Fully mature as one would expect and all the better for it. The nose is incredibly inviting with lemon peel, orchard fruits, brioche, poached pear and finishes with deep honey notes with touches of caramel and Fino Sherry. Despite being practically 20-years of age, the palate is razor sharp, full of energy, broad and textural which are the hallmarks of great Grand Cru vineyards (Avize and Cramant). The wine offers an indescribable sense of completeness – Imagine spiced, poached pears melded with a brioche richness, paired with candied fruits and a killer thread of acidity. A Michelin Star pudding if this could be translated into a bowl… Dazzling and a highly addictive Champagne. Truly exceptional. Possibly disgorged November 2012 but that is not clear on the bottle. Served at warehouse temperature and using Zalto Universal Glassware." Tasted February 2020
