THE ROYAL SHAKESPEARE COMPANY
MAKES LANSON ITS OFFICIAL CHAMPAGNE PARTNER
With over one million visitors annually, the Royal Shakespeare
has announced that Lanson - the multi-award-winning
Champagne House - is to become its new Official Champagne
Partner with immediate effect.
The prestigious theatre company will now pour Champagne
Lanson’s on premise exclusive Père et Fils as well as the
Champagne House’s Vintage Gold Label 2008, its premium
Extra Age Brut NV and its popular Lanson Rose Label Brut
Rosé NV in all of its bars and restaurants in Stratford Upon
Avon.
Vicki Fleming, Head of Catering, Royal Shakespeare Company
says: “We are delighted to announce that Champagne Lanson,
one of the oldest holders of the Royal Warrant has become
our new official Champagne partner. Producing some of the
world’s finest Champagnes since 1760, Lanson is the perfect fit
for us. The brand epitomises quality, style and celebration so is
perfect for our audiences. Sold by the glass in every theatre bar,
the delicious Lanson Père et Fils Brut NV is the perfect aperitif
to complement a theatre visit, while a bottle of Lanson Gold
Label Vintage 2008 goes wonderfully with a special event at
our award-winning Rooftop Restaurant. Lanson Brut Rosé NV,
Lanson Extra Age Brut NV and Lanson Gold Label Vintage
2008 will all feature on the Rooftop wine list”.
Paul Beavis, Managing Director adds: “We are absolutely
thrilled to be partnering with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
It not only allows us to showcase our multi award-winning
range of Champagne to its members; but we are also convinced
that Lanson’s renowned freshness and added weight from
extended ageing, ensures that our style of Champagne is also
food-friendly. Winning the coveted IWSC 2018 ‘Champagne
Producer of the Year’ award and the ‘Sparkling Wine Producer
of the Year’ Sommelier Wine Award 2017 are great honours for
Lanson and is proof positive that our well-crafted portfolio of
Champagne are loved by Sommeliers and wine experts, they
continue to be enjoyed by customers and have been given
the added exposure and recognition they justly deserve. We
are delighted that the Royal Shakespeare Company is able to
showcase our range to its members and guests.”
