History
Founded in 1760, Maison Lanson is one of the oldest Champagne Houses. A family property, guaranteeing the lasting values of the brand. Inspired by nature and committed to more sustainable viticulture, Lanson is one of the few major Champagne Houses operating today to include an organic Champagne in its permanent range. The Green Label Champagne has achieved every organic and biodynamic certification. It is the perfect expression of the terroir: direct, pure, with a wonderful vitality.
Regional Information
A unique combination of soil and climate characterizes the Champagne region. The vineyards are subject to a dual climate with both continental and oceanic influences. The climate is just right for making sparkling wine, producing grapes with the right balance of acidity and sugar levels. The soil is composed of chalk, marl and limestone. This type of subsoil ensures roots stay dry. The soil also acts as a reservoir, allowing the vines to have a steady supply of water even in the driest summers.
Vinification Details
Le Green Bio-Organic is carefully made with grapes from the Domaine de la Malmaison, our 16-hectare, 24- parcel vineyard at in the village of Verneuil. This vineyard is farmed with the utmost respect for the earth, the plants and people and is one of the largest biodynamic vineyards in Champagne. Le Green Bio-Organic is matured for at least 4 years in our cellars to develop a combination of complexity and purity.
