Champagne A. R. Lenoble

Falstaff Online 2022

The small family business A. R. Lenoble looks back on an eventful history before becoming one of the sought-after Champagne houses in the last 30 years. It all began in 1870 with Joseph Graser's escape from Alsace to Champagne - on foot! He died young, leaving his son Armand-Raphael to take charge of the family's fortunes and build a business as a wine broker. In 1920, he began producing Champagne, naming the Champagne house A. R. (the initials of his first name) Lenoble to give it a French twist. To this day, the house has retained the charm of a small family business, although there were enough takeover offers because of the exceptional quality of Champagne. Today, Anne and Antoine Malassagne are the 4th generation to manage the estate and its vineyards. These are located in the municipality of Chouilly, classified as Grand Cru, on the Côte des Blancs and are planted here naturally with Chardonnay. Other parcels are located in the 1er Cru commune of Bisseuil in the Montagne de Reims. A small percentage of the grapes are purchased from contract growers. Yields are very low, and only first pressing wine is used, resulting in Champagnes of distinctive character. The storage and ageing time on the yeast is at least 3.5 years, and the final product is so good that one gets by with a very low dosage. The "Vins de Reserve" are stored in magnum bottles. A. R. Lenoble Champagnes range from vintageless Extra Bruts to a Demi Sec, a style that is gaining popularity again, to a Blanc de Noirs and a Blanc de Blancs, each with vintage. A rosé Champagne is also produced. Due to the rather small production volume, the Champagnes of A. R. Lenoble are usually sold out quickly.
