Decanter, 92 Points

“50% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 15% Meunier from 100 villages in all, and including 30% reserves from 10 vintages back to 1995; a small proportion now being produced with malolactic. Black Label remains the confident barometer of Lanson, and Herv Dantans first blend is a class act, a resounding statement of his talent in preserving the style and integrity of the house while meticulously polishing the edges. Its a very important cuve in the grand scheme of Champagne: one of the best and most consistent of the bargain set.”

James Suckling, 92 Points

“A fresh, balanced palate with green apples, pie crust and pears. Medium body, fine bubbles and a crisp, dry finish. Nice center palate. Four years on the lees. Drink now.”

Tasting Panel, 92 Points

“Balanced and refined yet ripe, rich, and generous with sweet fruit, charm, and good length, this is a marvelous sparkler from an always reliable house.”

Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points

“Lansons famed nonvintage cuve is back on form, giving a ripe style dominated by Pinot Noir. It has weight and already a fine balance between the fruits and touches of toast from four years on the lees. This bottling of this Champagne is very ready to drink.”

Wine Spectator, 91 Points

“Racy acidity is tightly meshed to flavors of ripe red and black currant, preserved lemon, chopped almond and honeycomb in this sleek Champagne, with a fine, chalky bead. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier.”
