Style
Lanson’s identity is built on freshness and brightness, historically linked to vinification without malolactic fermentation. That choice preserves malic acidity and gives the wines a crisp profile suited to longer ageing.

- Le Rosé Création — the house rosé.
- Le Blanc de Blancs — Chardonnay expression.
- Le Green Bio-Organic — organic cuvée from Domaine de la Malmaison.

History
François Delamotte founded the house in Reims in 1760. The Lanson name became central in the 19th century, and the Maltese cross emblem remains one of its most recognisable symbols. The house became part of Lanson-BCC in 2006.
Positioning
Lanson is a large, export-driven Grande Marque with a fresh house style and a particularly strong presence in the United Kingdom, reinforced by its long Wimbledon association.
