Champagne, FranceLanson Green label has an appealing fresh green apple style streaked with lemon pith and floral, mineral, chalky notes. Its precision can be found in its tight linear palate that refreshes every sip. A slight improvement over the last rendition. The certified organic fruit comes from vineyards around Verneuil and Vandières in the Marne Valley. The land was farmed biodynamically when Lanson purchased the site in 2010 from Leclerc Briant. They use 8 to 13 hectares to produce this cuvée, a 50/30/20 pinot noir, pinot meunier, and chardonnay blend based on fruit harvested in 2015. There is no malolactic, so brighter acidity, and it spends 48 months on its lees, as exhibited by its appealing aromas and textures.Tasted: 26 November 2022Tasted by: Prices:

Champagne, FranceGrapes from this relatively new Lanson cuvée come from certified organic vineyards around Verneuil and Vandières in the Marne Valley. The Domaine de la Malmaison vineyards were farmed biodynamically when Lanson purchased the site in 2010 from Leclerc Briant. They use 8 of 13 hectares to produce this cuvée of 50% pinot noir, 30% pinot meunier, and 20% chardonnay, based on the 2015 vintage, with no MLF, and four years on lees, disgorged October 2021 with 6 g/L. Tight and zippy, with green apple, lemon peel, and white blossoms, strung across a taut palate, with a green edge and a finely chalky finish. Precise and still quite friendly.Tasted: 24 November 2022Tasted by: Prices:

Champagne, FranceLanson is using certified organic grapes for a new cuvée from its vineyards in the Marne Valley around the village of Verneuil. The vineyards were farmed biodynamically when Lanson acquired the vines in 2010 from Leclerc Briant. Since the acquisition, Lanson has used 8 of 13 hectares to produce an organic base wine based on the excellent 2012 harvest. With no malolactic fermentation, the decision was made to age the Green Label for three+ years on its lees to balance the high level of malic acid in the Champagne. After that, the plan is to make a green label every year, although it won’t be certified biodynamic, just organic. The latest bottle in BC was aged a full four years and had a modest six g/L dosage, leaving it essentially bone dry for most palates. The blend is 50/20/30 pinot noir, chardonnay, and pinot meunier. The nose is a fresh and mineral line, and the attack is crisp and electric with bright pear and peach, black currant, and plum that help tone the acidity. Just a baby would surely be an acceptable candidate for ages five to seven years—an impressive start and certainly an option for organic wine drinkers.Tasted: 11 July 2021Tasted by: Prices:
