Marks & Spencer to Stock Champagne Lanson

Proud Royal Warrant Holders and one of the oldest family-run Champagne Houses, Champagne Lanson will have its Extra Age Brut NV (with gift box) on the shelves of 220 Marks & Spencer branches for the first time in the store’s history.

Sue Daniels, Marks & Spencer says: “We are delighted to have Champagne Lanson’s Extra Age Brut NV added to our growing Champagne offering. We know that our customers will welcome an opportunity to try this exceptional Champagne.”

Established in 1760, Champagne Lanson produces an impressive and diverse portfolio of quality Champagnes year after year. Created to celebrate Champagne Lanson’s 250th anniversary in 2010, Extra Age Brut NV emulates the traditionally complex and classic fresh style maintained by the House of Lanson for 256 years.

Aged for at least five years from mainly Premier and Grand Cru vineyards and from three great vintages: the exceptional 2002, plus 2004 and 2005, Champagne Lanson Extra Age Brut NV is an exquisite multi-vintage blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay and delights with its intensity. Each bottle reveals the disgorgement date on the reverse label.

Paul Beavis, Managing Director, Champagne Lanson, UK & International says: “We are absolutely thrilled about Marks & Spencer’s decision to stock our exquisite Champagne Lanson Extra Age Brut NV. This is an important listing for us. We know that once customers try our Champagnes they become advocates and we hope that this will develop into a long-lasting relationship with Marks & Spencer.”

Champagne Lanson’s Extra Age Brut NV has a vibrant straw yellow colour, with fine bubbles and aromas of fig, winter pear and honey combine with notes of brioche. Full-bodied complexity, balanced with finesse and freshness, this cuvée provides the perfect gift solution, can be enjoyed on its own, or paired perfectly with Marks & Spencer’s quality food.

Champagne Lanson Extra Age Brut NV will be available in 220 Marks & Spencer stores and online at www.marksandspencer.com priced at £45.
