WINEMAKER NOTES
In order to continue a style that marries complexity with freshness, Lanson Extra Age Brut unites the exceptional characters of the grand millesime years of 2000, 2002 and 2004. Aromas of fig, pear, and honey combine with complex notes of brioche. Full-bodied, with incredible freshness. The harmony and balance, for which these years were chosen, enable the full expression of the power of the Pinot Noir picked from the best plots of Verzenay and Bouzy. The Chardonnays from the Cote des Blancs, Chouilly, Avize, Oger and Vertus, in all their diversity, add a touch of finesse.
Blend: 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
WE94, Wine Enthusiast
"Just as it says on the label, this is a nonvintage wine that has aged longer than usual in the Lanson cellars (in this case five years). That immediately gives it a toasty aroma and palate. The white stone fruit is still crisp although filled out and rounded with bottle age. Drink this impressive wine now"
JS93, James Suckling
"Aged a minimum of five years before release, this takes a step into more refined, nougat-like lees-aged territory. There are attractive almonds and honey on the nose in addition to hints of red fruits, and the palate has a really smooth chiseled shape that drives long on a smooth acid thread to a red berry finish. Great twist on their style. Drink now and for five years and beyond. (disgorged July 2015)"
RP93, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"Disgorged in November 2017 after a decade sur lattes, the latest release of Lanson's NV Brut Extra Age is based upon the 2004, 2005 and 2006 vintages, and it's showing very well, offering up a youthfully tight-knit bouquet of warm brioche, pear, confit citrus and praline. On the palate, the wine is deep, full-bodied and incisive, with the racy spine so typical of Lanson's non-malo style, excellent concentration and a long, saline finish. Muscular and penetrating, this is an excellent wine that still flies somewhat below the radar."
