Champagne Lanson – Founded in 1760 – Reims
Founded by Francois Delamotte in 1760 in Reims, Lanson is one of the region’s oldest houses. It became a supplier to European royals, receiving a British Royal Warrant in 1900. The estate passed through various ownerships before joining the Lanson‑BCC group in 2006. Today, under Cellar Master Herve Dantan, Lanson blends tradition and innovation in winemaking, preserving its signature freshness.

Clos Lanson: rare 1-ha walled Chardonnay vineyard inside Reims.
