Champagne Lanson is one of the oldest heritage Champagne houses, founded in 1760 and recognized for its signature style that avoids malolactic fermentation to preserve crisp, vibrant acidity and exceptional aging potential. The estate draws fruit from a meticulously curated network of over 100 different crus, focusing heavily on historical Grand Cru and Premier Cru villages such as Verzenay, Bouzy, and Ay for Pinot Noir, and Avize, Cramant, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger for Chardonnay.

For the exceptional "Le Vintage" Brut Millésime 2012, the blend relies entirely on these top-tier sites, with 70% of the grapes selected specifically from classified Grand Cru vineyards. The house actively promotes sustainable viticulture across these plots, fostering deep biodiversity and precise canopy management to ensure the grapes achieve optimal maturity. This strict vineyard selection allows Lanson to maintain its legendary structure, precision, and complexity across generations of cellaring.

The 2012 Champagne vintage is widely celebrated as an exceptional, legendary year where a challenging growing season gave way to a perfect late-summer ripening period, yielding concentrated grapes with a masterful balance of intense fruit power and razor-sharp, vibrant acidity.
