A.R. Lenoble

A.R. Lenoble

It was in 1915 that Armand-Raphaël Graser, then a wine merchant in Alsace, left his native region to join Champagne and set up in Damery, in an 18th-century building with typical Champagne architecture, the company's current head office. He began producing Champagne under the brand name "AR Lenoble",  "A.R." for his initials and "Lenoble" as a tribute to the nobility of Champagne wines.

In 1947, his son Joseph then succeeded him, then in 1973, on Joseph's retirement, the House passed into the hands of Jean-Marie Malassagne, Armand-Raphaël's grandson, who himself in 1993 handed over the keys to the house to his daughter Anne and son Antoine, the 4th generation at the helm of this very fine House.

Today, in order to pursue its development, the company has decided to open up its capital to the Frère-Gallienne family's FG Bros holding company, which owns stakes in Château Cheval Blanc in Saint-Emilion. Antoine Malassagne "remains associated and operationally involved to ensure the continuity of the work accomplished alongside his sister Anne over three decades. 

Description A.R. Lenoble Blanc de Noirs 2016.

Discover this exceptional Blanc de Noirs, made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes grown in the prestigious terroirs of the Montagne de Reims. This carefully aged 2016 vintage embodies the elegance and power of the Bisseuil Premier Cru.

On the nose, this champagne seduces with its generous aromas of candied yellow fruits, subtly combined with notes of dried fruit and gingerbread. Toasted and spicy touches, inherited from aging in oak barrels and on lees, add remarkable aromatic depth.

On the palate, the attack is lively and the effervescence creamy. The texture, both full-bodied and velvety, reveals flavors of ripe red fruits and brioche. Without dosage, this champagne expresses a rare purity, highlighting the typical characteristics of Pinot Noir and the richness of its terroir. The long and precise finish combines freshness and minerality for an unforgettable taste experience.

Exceptional expertise

  • 100% Pinot Noir: A single grape variety that enhances the character of the terroir.
  • Aged in oak barrels: For a unique aromatic complexity.
  • Extended maturation: 8 years on lees in the house's historic cellars.
  • Zero dosage: An authentic and uncompromising expression.

Food and champagne pairings: Perfect with foie gras, roasted lobster, or chicken supreme with morel mushrooms. Also delicious with pear or almond-based desserts.

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
