What makes Clos Lanson one of Champagne’s most fascinating and rare wines? 🍾

In this episode of the Jane Anson Wine Podcast, host Suzanne Mustacich sits down with Hervé Dantan, Cellar Master of Champagne Lanson, for a deep dive into the legendary Clos Lanson—a single-hectare Chardonnay vineyard located in the heart of Reims, just steps from the cathedral.

Hervé explains how this historic, chalk-rich urban vineyard creates a Champagne unlike any other, combining saltiness, freshness, and generosity, shaped by a unique microclimate and meticulous winemaking.
