Black Label Methuselah

The Black Label is the classic in Lanson's range, here in the Methuselah, which holds six litres. The cuvée keeps the same style from year to year: 50% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Meunier from 50 to 60 crus and ten vintages. The dosage of 8 g/l brings balance between freshness and power. After at least three years of cellar ageing it is harmonious and mature.

It smells of spring flowers and honey with light toasty notes, and on the palate it is soft, fruity and airy. The large bottle is enough for about fifty flutes and suits family celebrations or big gatherings, best served as an aperitif. Chill it slowly and evenly to 8 to 10 °C, for example in an ice bath. It is delivered in a wooden box, which also protects it in transit.
