Lanson Gold Label 1996 Brut Vintage Champagne gifts. Hazy, pale straw colour, with a moderate bead. On the nose there are pleasing, forward notes of honey and straw notes, and little hints of richness. Alongside the full and fresh mousse Champagne there is plenty of interest, with mineral and seashell tones alongside more exuberant peachy notes, with an unusual slightly sandy-salty feel, wrapped up in an impressive, vinous mouhfeel. This wine doesn't have the dominating malic acidity that occurs in young Lanson BL although only cellared for just under a year. This delightfully fresh, cleansing, well defined wine is maturing nicely. It is ready to drink now, but should improve over next 4-5 years.
