In the tradition of Lanson Champagnes of the 19th and early 20th centuries, Extra Age is a blend of Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs selected only from Grands Crus and Premiers Crus vineyards. In order to maintain a style that combines both complexity and freshness, Lanson combines the outstanding characters of several vintages: 1999, 2002 and 2003. The harmony and balance of the wine is owed to the powerful Pinot Noirs from the finest areas of Verzenay and Bouzy and the fitnesse of the Chardonnays from the Côte des Blancs: Chouilly, Avize, Oger and Vertus.
