Champagne AR Lenoble :
A Unique Style,
Come and discover the secrets behind these unique Champagnes…
Family Spirit
My brother Antoine and myself are proud to be carrying
on our family tradition, making AR Lenoble Champagnes one of the rare
firms to
continue to be independent.
The initials "AR" stand for Armand Raphaël, our great grandfather
who founded the company in 1920, and the name "Lenoble" was chosen because
he believed that "champagne is the most noble of wines!"
A magnificent history that we are determined to carry on for decades
to come…
An exceptional vineyard
Of the 320 villages that make up Champagne, only 17 are classified
Grand Cru and 41 Premier Cru. On top of this, of the 17 that are classified
Grand Cru, only 6 are located on the Côte des Blancs and produce the
most magnificent Chardonnays in Champagne.
It is precisely on these lands of exceptional quality that the our vineyards
of 18 hectares are located. To be even more accurate, they are located
in Chouilly, a terroir that is classified Grand Cru de la Côte des Blancs
and considered one of the best 6 villages in Champagne for Chardonnay,
and in Bisseuil, a Premier Cru de la Montagne de Reims, where we grow
our Pinot Noir.
Using these unique raw materials, we craft rare Cuvées classified Grand
Cru Blanc de Blancs or, when the quality of the Pinots permits, Premier
Cru Blanc
de Noirs.
Moments of exception just waiting to be savoured…
Age-old Methods
Ever faithful to the principles handed down by
our forefathers, we continue to produce our Champagnes in accordance with
methods which
others have often forgotten for reasons of profitability.
We refuse to sacrifice quality in the name of quantity. We limit the volume
and enhance the value of our produce by following the recipes of our ancestors.
The wine is made in new barrels and we continue to use the stapled corks that
have disappeared elsewhere.
Innovation and respect for tradition…
Anne and Antoine Malassagne
