"Recreating the finest expression of the Lanson style with each harvest is a duty of memory and a challenge that requires creativity and humility towards nature. Each Création is unique and writes a new page in our stor y, one that we share with the utmost transparency." - Hervé Dantan Winemaker at Maison Lanson
LE BLACK CRÉATION 258
2018 was a year of exceptional quality, offering near-perfect weather conditions, that were both hot and dry. The warm sunshine, which continued into very late autumn, allowed the vines to develop in their own time. They were protected from any disease or water stress, as the very wet winter had allowed for plenty of water to be stored. The early harvests began on 20 August. Respecting the unique character of each parcel made it possible to harvest rich and complex Pinot Noirs. The Chardonnays revealed a freshness and exceptional elegance, while the Meuniers stood out for their remarkable softness, revealing wonderful notes of fruit and spice.
Each Création has a unique recipe that is revealed through the QR code displayed on each back label. This new tool allows all connoisseurs to discover the secrets behind their Création, and marks a new chapter in the desire for transparency.

THE BLACK CRÉATION SPIRIT
Combining a sense of heritage with expertise, Lanson Winemakers have perpetuated for over 260 years a characterful, fresh and elegant style, with the multi vintage brut as its signature. Renamed Le Black Label by Victor Lanson in 1937, as a sign of its openness to the world and in tribute to the Royal Court of England, this iconic cuvée took a first step in the history of the House. When he joined as Winemaker in 2013, Hervé Dantan set about enriching this heritage. By adapting to the uniqueness of each harvest, he took the precision of there blends even further. Driven by this creative mission, he redesigned the production facility, reshaped the expertise and worked to develop cultural practices.
Hervé Dantan redefines Le Black Label with Le Black Création, a name that illustrates the tailored work demanded by the exceptional character of each harvest. Each Création comes with a number in reference to the number of harvests that have taken place since the House was founded in 1760. More than ever, it places expertise, transparency and authenticity at the heart of our approach. Each Création is unique and enhances the previous one.
