Since 1760, Lanson has been crafting Champagnes, making it one of the oldest houses of this world-famous vintage. To cultivate this secular know-how, Hervé Dantan, cellar master, has been searching since 2013 for the best blends to sublimate the Champagne terroir. This is how the latest creation, Le Rosé Création 67, came into being after the multi-millennium brut Le Black Création.
A blend of rosé reserve wines, this proposal offers ‘exceptional aromatic depth while guaranteeing the elegance, freshness and fruitiness of Lanson's signature style’.

The tradition of rosé Champagne dates back to 1833 at Champagne Lanson, and was definitively included in the range in 1952.
The current Cellar Master, Hervé Dantan, adapts to the exceptional character of each harvest, each year delivering his interpretation of Rosé Lanson by recreating a singular blend based on the precise selection of grapes, the exclusive use of reserve rosé wines and the subtle addition of red Champagne wines which give it its delicate salmon colour. The only rosé champagne in the Lanson range, Le Rosé Création is the finest rosé expression of the House and is unveiled in a new, more elegantly curved glass bottle.
