What does "Le Black Label" mean?

Not a tasting note — it’s the name Victor Lanson gave the house’s flagship Brut in 1937, honoring Lanson’s status as an official supplier to the British Royal Court since 1900.

Lanson Champagne — Le Black Label Brut & Le Blanc de Blancs

Founded in 1760, Lanson is one of the oldest Champagne houses still trading under its founding name. Its defining house signature is blocking malolactic fermentation across almost its entire range — a rare choice that preserves freshness and extends aging potential. Le Black Label, named by Victor Lanson in 1937 as a tribute to Lanson’s status as an official supplier to the British Royal Court since 1900, is the one wine in the range that undergoes any malolactic conversion at all, and even then only partially.

Lanson — Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a deliberate house signature: skipping the softening malolactic conversion used by most Champagne houses keeps Lanson’s wines crisper and gives them a longer aging window than typical non-vintage Champagne.
