Based in Reims and established in 1760 by Francis Delamotte, Maison Lanson is one of the oldest Champagne houses and has maintained their family traditions, values and independence for 260 years. The origin of the Lanson Cross dates back to 1798, when the founder's son, then a member of the Hospitaller’s Order of Malta (the oldest charity worldwide), decided to utilise the Maltese Cross to fashion the emblem of Lanson. The house is best known for its Black Label cuvée and its prestige release, the Clos Lanson, but also produces a Brut, Blanc de Blancs and a Rosé. The range is topped by a trio of Noble Cuvée wines, made from selected Grand Cru vineyards.
