The month of June has been a celebration of everything quintessentially British. It seems we just can’t get enough. With Wimbledon tennis due to start next week another British institution is set to capture our love as action at the All England Club gets underway. Cue a surge in strawberries and cream consumption, but more importantly plenty of champagne! Rightly so, this week Elysium’s recommendation for the discerning gent’s drinks cabinet is Champagne Lansons Black Label.

 

In this special year of British celebration Lansons has gone one step further. A rather fetching limited edition Union Jack bottle for one of the most memorable summers the nation will witness. This Union Jack thermal wrap helps to ensure your champagne is kept chilled at the perfect temperature whilst you’re at the tennis cheering on Nadal, Federer, Murray et al.
Washing down sumptuous strawberries and cream with a fine champagne in the British sun is one of life’s joys (when sunny!). As mentioned, it’s quintessentially British. So, what of the champagne encased in patriotic livery? Well, Lansons Black Label is crafted in the traditional non-malolactic style since 1760. This results in a bubbly tipple with fresh zesty flavours and notes of toast and honey. It’s ideal for summer celebrations whilst atop Murray Mound watching the action at SW19, or a picnic in the park this summer.

 

If you needed further convincing, Champagne Lansons has held The Royal Warrant since 1860. If it’s approved by royalty, the discerning gent needs no further incentive to add a bottle or two to his drinks cabinet collection this summer.

 

Champagne Lansons Black Label in the Union Jack wrap is available in all major retailers, RRP £31.99. For further details please visit www.lanson.fr
