First time tasting Lanson and found with some research that tonight we drink like "Royals": per wiki "Lanson still remains a purveyor of champagne to the British Royal Family and displays the coat of arms of Elizabeth II on its bottles."
May your NYE and 2016 also be a Royal______!
**For the record I have never had Lanson and was looking up more about them and thought this was funny.
50% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Meunier, Malo is blocked to preserve the high toned fruit and fresh acidity of the wine. Great value and in the vein of a grower style of bubbles looking to preserve freshness and terroir. About 50/50 Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards and about 10 years of vintages in the blend. It rests for 3 years on lees and 6 months post disgorgement. — 11 years ago
This is spectacular stuff. Recommended to me by the sales assistant in Royal Mile Whiskies, London it was a fantastic purchase. Rounded brown sugar and a light hint of citrus. This is exceptional and for around £50 an absolute steal. — 11 years ago

Excellent, à la fois légèrement fruité et tourbé. Une formidable longueur. Vu chez un grand connaisseur, Auberge du Pêcheur â Groix. — 11 years ago
Saint-Véran 2013 - Domaine du Chalet Pouilly
C'est dans le village de Solutré-Pouilly, situé dans la région du Mâconnais en Bourgogne, que la famille Plumet réalise de la magie au Domaine du Chalet Pouilly. Ce domaine ne se revendique d'aucun mouvement, ni d'aucune communauté. Ils font du vin. Depuis 1850. Autant dire que le temps et le respect des pratiques de cette période font partie intégrante de la culture du domaine et qu'elles l'ont toujours été.
Dégustons : notre superbe victime se nomme Saint-Véran 2013 et autant le dire de suite, ce 100% Chardonnay balance : Waouh! Waouh! Waouh! (3 fois)
Des vignes d'une cinquantaine d'années produisent ce jus envoutant, issu d'un élevage en cuve inox pendant 8 mois environ.
La couleur est paille, le nez floral avec un soupçon de pain légèrement beurré. En bouche, la précision est phénoménale. Le vin est superbement équilibré et rien ne semble laissé au hasard. Finesse et délicatesse s'allient sur une minéralité citronnée qui impose une longueur fort agréable. Ce vin coule avec tant d'aisance et de délicatesse qu'on prend alors conscience que la bouteille du doux breuvage est déjà vide ;)
Aie !

ENGLISH /
English friends is here what you need to know, description taken directly from domain's website, but true:
TASTING:
Light yellow (thanks to the old vineyards - 50 years old) colour and an elegant fruity scent. Flavors of fresh buttered bread with
floral fragrances as well as a sweet aroma of ripe fruits and a roasted hint are characteristic of this wine.

Domaine du Chalet Pouilly practices traditional winegrowing methods, respecting the "terroir" in order to bring out the superior flavors of its quality wines.

Amazing whisky... And usually, i'm not a fan. 3 years in scotland, then imported in burgundy so as to be aged in burg. Oak barrels from grand cru, in a cellar saturated with humidity. — 11 years ago
Very rare and only in Japan, expensive and worth trying once. — 11 years ago
Got to sample this spontaneously today. Found it very easy to drink and full of aromas. At first I thought it was going to be as similar as their Maple Whiskey, but I was pleasantly surprised on how approachable and 'not one/two-sided this was. To my SWS rep. Great job. That's how you get me behind a product. Apple Blossom here we come and we're gonna sell tons of this. SWS509 $18 — 11 years ago

Smooth and elegant! — 10 years ago
Lovely traditional honey but the balance on this was grand, such nice acidity! Would be perfect for aging for another 10+ years. — 11 years ago
Smells much like a bourbon rye American whiskey. When rubbed between the hands, a very strong oak smell. Somewhat sweet on the pallet, with a very strong oak taste. Hints of vanilla and caramel. Love the flavor! A new favorite. — 11 years ago
A royal tannin-bomb! But opened up and had some good texture and great length. Maybe a little too ripe, but solid. — 11 years ago
