Champagne Supplier to Queen Victoria

Throughout the centuries, the name of the champagne house has changed several times. When Nicolas-Louis Delamotte was succeeded by Jean-Baptiste Lanson, the champagne house continued under the name JB Lanson & Company. In 1855, his son and successor Victor-Marie Lanson transformed it into Lanson Père et Fils. Lanson has been a 'Royal Warrant Holder' since 1900. Victor-Marie Lanson had connections with the British Royal Family and Queen Victoria, securing Lanson as the official supplier to the British Royal Family in 1900 and later to the royal family of Monaco.

Unique Collection of Reserve Wines

Under the leadership of Victor Lanson, who took over in 1928, the first Black Label was introduced, and the first rosé champagne was assembled. His son Etienne Lanson started the unique collection of reserve wines in 1967, which the winery still utilizes. The collection includes unique vintage champagnes dating back to 1904. Etienne Lanson continued the champagne house with Jean-Paul Gandon, who served as the cellar master for 30 years. Since 2015, Hervé Dantan has been the Chef de Caves of Lanson.

The Style of Chef de Cave Hervé Dantan

In over 260 years, Lanson has developed its own distinctive style, where wines are individually vinified, and instead of malolactic fermentation, the champagne undergoes aging for a minimum of 5 years in oak barrels. Under the guidance of Chef de Cave Hervé Dantan, Lanson's special style has further evolved. Lanson champagnes are known for being fruity, elegant, and well-balanced.
