AR Lenoble : Premier Cru Blanc de Noirs 2013

The finesse and power of a vintage Premier Cru Blanc de Noirs

The estate

With a four-generation-strong history, the AR Lenoble Champagne House is familial and independent. Pioneering and committed to a process of sustainable development and diversity for over 20 years, AR Lenoble is the second Champagne House to be certified "High Environmental Value" Level 3 since 1993.

Deliberately produced in limited quantities, AR Lenoble champagnes reflect the quest of excellence which has driven the house since it was founded in 1920, notably through its exclusive development of cuvées produced from the first press. The ageing of the reserve wines is carried out in magnum cork stoppers to preserve freshness and develop aromatic richness.

The cuvées of the AR Lenoble Champagne House, which dosage does not exceed 5g/l, are known for their delicate effervescence, their aromatic richness and their creamy texture.
