Well-made, round and simple Champagne. Hard to guess age here as it feels so young. Lots of fruits, cream and sunflower seeds. Only aftertaste reveals some age in the form of an old cellar and Jerez notes. Not impressive, but interesting experience anyways.

Lunch with Wineaux. Bottle 2, and even better than the ‘02 Lanson. Perfect dosage and balance. — 4 years ago

Is this number five? I’ve lost track already. “Gold Jerry, Gold.” Can taste a touch of the age on this bottle. #freundfest2018 — 6 years ago

Extremely versatile not to say acrobatic in its ability to pair with either food or even an exquisite cocktail. Yes, lovely Granny Smith apples, sparkly, quite satisfying. Price/quality ratio will not disappoint. — 3 years ago

My first bottle from the house of LANSON, and it’s a good one. Grapefruits, pomegranate, strawberry, sea breeze, and hint of floral. Preserved plum like acidity and subtle minerality complement each other nicely. Good texture on the palate. — 4 years ago

Simply the most interesting Champagne I’ve ever had. This is a perfect example of how Champagne is an overlooked niche, hardly referred to as actually wine. The 9 yrs of bottle conditioning produces a truly curious and exciting experience steeped in Amber. — 6 years ago

Lanson Champagne Extra Age Brut Rosé sports a coppery visage, an undefined color at the midpoint between pale apricot and salmon. A blend of the 2002, 2004, and 2005 vintages, with ten years en tirage, this stunning brut rosé has considerable power amplified by a bolt of enamel-etching acidity. Vivid layers of stone fruit, orange marmalade and spice are tightly corseted in a lingering chalky saline-edged minerality. 6 g/l dosage. Sample — 8 years ago

2008 vintage: straw yellow, somewhat muted nose of white fruit and delicately floral. Bright acidity with orchard fruits and a hint of buttered toast and perhaps even violets. Tight and needs to open but focused and bright. — a year ago

9.2

On the nose, strawberries, cherries, black cherries, blood oranges, soft, unstated chalkiness, volcanic minerals and fresh red & pink roses. On the palate, its delicate, fruit driven. More fruit concentration that the Billecart-Salmon but less than the Ruinart Rosés. Strawberries, cherries, black cherries, blood oranges, tangerines, nice chalkiness, round acidity, brioche & pink roses. It's much more floral than the Billecart or the Ruinart. However, the finish is not quite as long as the other two as well. But, it's still very nice. A little history on the house. Laurent-Perrier was founded in 1812 and is the main company of the Laurent-Perrier Group, whose other properties include; Salon, De Castellane and Delamotte & Chateau Malakoff. Laurent-Perrier was founded in 1812 when a former cooper and bottler, Alphonse Pierlot purchased two parcels of land named "Plaisances" and "La Tour Glorieux" in Tours-sur-Marne. When Pierlot passed he willed the company to his cellar master, Eugene Laurent, who ran it with his wife, Mathilde Emilie Perrier. In 1925 Veuve Mathilde died, and left the company to Eugenie Hortense Laurent. Eugenie sold the company to Mary-Louise Lanson de Nonancourt in 1939. In 1949 Bernard de Nonancourt became the owner of the company and saw it become one of the largest family-owned Champagne houses. The de Nonancourt family still retains majority ownership today. Check out those old moldy bottles in the small photo on the left. They've remained untouched for a very long time. — 7 years ago
