Gault&Millau's review
2018 99/100
A real favorite. All the superlatives wouldn't be enough to describe this exceptional bottle. Emotions ran high during the tasting, in an almost religious atmosphere, and for good reason: this bottle doesn't exist. The first vintage of the noble cuvée was 1979, and this one comes from the house's preliminary tests and has never been marketed. Made from a blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir, the wine reveals a radiant, brilliant old gold color. On the nose, notes of toast and brioche rub shoulders with aromas of white fruit and roasted dried fruit, with a strong whiff of Guayaquil chocolate. Elegant and noble, the palate radiates ripe, roasted fruit flavors. A perpetual vibrato of purity, simply magical! One of the best champagnes tasted this year.

Lanson
Lanson
Founded in 1760, Lanson is the fourth oldest Champagne house. Drawing on a family heritage and unique know-how, it is the love of a job well done and attention to others that has guided the men and women of the house for over 260 years. The unique and authentic style of the wines is based on a meticulous selection of crus, a rare collection of reserve wines and prolonged maturation in the cellar. Cellar master Hervé Dantan carefully crafts wines characterized by freshness, fruitiness and inimitable vitality. As for the cellars, they house a collection of vintages dating back to 1904, undoubtedly one of the finest in Champagne.
