Description
TASTING NOTE:Intense fruit character on the nose, with a very sweet and polished style, citrusy but in a rather solid almost honeyed style, nuances which do indeed evolve over a few minutes into richer notes faintly suggestive of caramel and sweet melon. The palate is remarkably relaxed for Lanson, the sweetness and ripeness of the fruit covering the trademark acidity very nicely at first, although it does show through with a thrusting fashion later in the palate. Really nice juxtaposition of the elements here, and a rather seductive midpalate. Really very good indeed. Long and lightly grippy too. Score: 17 (out of 20) (Chris Kissack, winedoctor.com, March 2011)

Tasting Notes
Notes of oyster shell, graphite and spice are a fresh and aromatic entry for this vibrant Champagne, layered with firm, focusing acidity and flavors of poached apricot, black cherry, lemon curd and slivered almond. Offers a lovely, creamy texture and a juicy quality to the mineral-laced finish. Disgorged February 2016. Drink now through 2033. Score - 94. (Alison Napjus, winespectator.com, Dec. 15, 2019)
