About the winery
Founded in 1920, AR Lenoble is one of the very rare houses in Champagne to be consistently family-owned and completely independent throughout its rich history. In 2020, we will celebrate our 100th birthday - and we are looking for a handful of new distributors who share our values and convictions. AR Lenoble is today managed by the sister-and-brother team of Anne and Antoine Malassagne, the fourth generation of the family to run the estate and the great-grandchildren of founder Armand-Raphaël "AR" Graser. AR Lenoble believes in privileging the characteristic expression of fruit from our own vineyards, all of which have been certified Haute Valeur Environnementale since 2012 in recognition of more than twenty years of commitment to sustainability and biodiversity. Our domaine owns 10 hectares of chardonnay in the Grand Cru village of Chouilly, 6 hectares of pinot noir in the Premier Cru village of Bisseuil, and 2 hectares of meunier in Damery in the Marne Valley.
