What’s Better Than Roasted Duck Breast? When You Pair it with Lanson Le Black Creation


Combining a sense of heritage and savoir-faire, Lanson has been perpetuating for more than 260 years a fresh and elegant style with Black Création as its signature.

This Champagne enhances the unique character of each harvest through the tailored work combining creativity and precision.

Each Création comes with a number in reference to the number of harvests that have taken place since the House was founded in 1760.

Reflecting the diversity of terroirs in Champagne, expect amber shimmers reflected in gleaming colour with a fine stream of bubbles, with a bouquet of tangy fruit with aromas of pear, apple and citrus. 

On the palate, the wine is generous with flavours of ripe orchard fruit, notes of mandarin, lemon and grapefruit that burst on the palate, providing a sensation of freshness. Maturity is expressed through notes of brioche and dried fruit.

So, what is the ideal food pairing for such an iconic Champagne? We asked Celebrity Chef, Luke Nguyen for his advice:

"This roasted duck breast with hoisin tamarind sauce is the perfect Winter indulgence – rich, warming and deeply satisfying.

"The crisp, golden duck skin and succulent meat are beautifully balanced by the tangy-sweet hoisin-tamarind glaze, while the charred broccolini and hint of orange add freshness and depth.”

This is a dish that feels luxurious yet comforting, ideal for chilly evenings when you want something hearty with a refined edge and it pairs perfectly with a glass of Lanson Le Black Creation 258. 

Lanson Le Black Creation 258 is available at Dan Murphy's for RRP $71.99.
