The Lanson House was founded in Reims in 1760 by François Delamotte, councillor, alderman and trader in Reims. It is one of the oldest Champagne House.

In 1798, Nicolas-Louis Delamotte, Knight of the order of Malta, succeeded his father and takes the Malta Cross as commercial emblem.

In 1837 when Nicolas-Louis Delamotte died, Jean-Baptiste Lanson, associate to the Delamotte Family in the Champagne House, took the lead of the House who then took the name of Lanson, Father and Son.

In 1882, Victor-Marie Lanson signs his first exclusive agency agreement with the Percy Fox House in London, an agreement that would last more than a 100 years, thus ensuring Champagne Lanson’s success.

The year 1900 was a turning point for the Lanson House. Queen Victoria rewarded Champagne Lanson with the prestigious title of official supplier to the English Court, the Royal Warrant of Appointment, a title the House still has today.

Since its origins, the Lanson House carries on a champagne tradition that consists of not having a malolactic fermentation. This particularity favours an optimum development for fruit aromas, keeps the grape fresh, while allowing a longer ageing process, since time spent in the prestigious Lanson cellars is a definite sign of quality.
