Winner of Tom Stevenson’s Chairman’s Trophy at the Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships 2017 "Anyone with money can choose a prestige cuvée of champagne – a Dom Pérignon or a Cristal – but it takes a bit more knowledge, and confidence, to serve a better-value alternative such as a long-aged non-vintage champagne from an impeccable family-owned house such as Louis Roederer, Pol Roger or Bollinger or an offering from one of the less famous names such as Agrapart, Egly-Ouriet, Jacquesson or AR Lenoble." – Jancis Robinson "This small, family-owned house makes some of the finest and best-value champagne around. " – The Guardian "The wines of Chouilly are marked by a broad build and creamy richness. Tempered by the Marne River to the North, the microclimate of Chouilly is also warmer, making it a departure from other villages in the Côte des Blancs. As a consequence, the chardonnay from this village can yield expansive and voluptious wines with forward ripeness and soft structure. Les Aventures is a superb expression of Chouilly, balancing creamy richness with soil-driven complexity." – Peter Liem “True to its name, a noble approach in the vines and the cellar produces well-composed and tantalisingly affordable cuvées that exemplify Antoine Malassagne’s philosophy of ‘full body with elegance,’ showcasing the strength, structure, definition and opulence of Chouilly.” – Tyson Stelzer AR Lenoble Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Vintage 2008 is one of our “Highly Recommended” champagnes of 2017 – Decanter “It’s very clear to me that Antoine Malassagne knows his vines and their relationship with the climate and soils very well.” - Christina Rasmussen, The Buyer “Another advantage of being family-owned and run like AR Lenoble is the ability to release wines when they are ready and to retain stock to release at glorious maturity.” – Neil Beckett, The World of Fine Wine AR Lenoble Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Chouilly 2008 – 96/100 – Falstaff “AR Lenoble Rosé Terroirs Chouilly-Bisseuil has enlivening tropical fruits with a swathe of tart and tangy citrus cast into peaches and red cherries on the palate. Watermelon-like freshness at the finish.” – James Suckling “AR Lenoble is in a select, forward-thinking group with Selosse and Jacquesson who are making the most exciting wines in the whole of Champagne right now. Keep watching this space.” – Davy Zyw AR Lenoble Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Chouilly NV - 92 points – Editors’ Choice – Wine Enthusiast “AR Lenoble recently inaugurated a professional tasting room and state-of-the-art kitchen in its Damery headquarters, where cooking ateliers (by appointment only) demonstrate firsthand that simple really is best (in other words, roasted chicken absolutely does go down better with a glass of AR Lenoble Brut Intense). Come spring, the producer will be offering Champenois lunches in a historic cabin that sits at the heart of its vines in Bisseuil.” – Lindsey Tramuta, Fortune “This non-vintage brut is an exceptional expression of everything we love about Champagne—fresh, minerally, lemon-creamy and toasty.” – Forbes
