AR Lenoble Champagne Grande Cuvée Gentlihomme 2009

Out of stock
Art. # 1247
This is a Champagne from Chouilly, part of which is vinified in oak barrels, which give it a light vanilla taste. Blanc de Blancs is an amazing representative - rich, with a tone of tropical fruits and a lighter minerality unlike the neighboring Grand Crus from the south.

AR Lenoble Champagne

AR Lenoble Champagne

Founded in 1915 by Armand-Raphaël Graser, the manor is still in the hands of the family. The 18-hectare land is divided into two parts - one with a Grand Cru classification and the other with a Premier Cru. You should know that only 17 of the 319 districts in Champagne have a Grand Cru and 44 a Premier Cru classification. This suggests the quality you can expect from AR Lenoble Champagne. Add the skill and passion with which people respect the gift of the earth and the philosophy of the founder and you will be sure that a winique experience with these wines awaits you. One peculiarity is that it matures considerably, more than the time required for the appeal, starting from 3 to 5 years for the more regular and ending with several decades for excellent harvests. This is Champagne de Luxe, a combination of exceptional terroir and human skill.

Champagne

The Champagne region is located to the northernmost of all the vineyards of France. The distinctive taste and purity of real champagne is certainly due to the calcareous soil and continental growing conditions. Unlike most other wines, it is characteristic of those from Champagne that the vintages of different years are blended to obtain a final product (non-vintage) or different wines from the same vintage are blended - in this case the wine is marked as vintage and its year is indicated on the label. This means, after all, that the quality of the champagne obtained depends very much on the balance between the quality of the grapes and the skills of the oenologists, which is why they are also promoted according to the name of the producer. Thus, in Champagne and around the world, the most famous names are Krug, Mumm, Bollinger, Veuve Clicquot, not to mention the well-known brands Dom Perignon, Moët & Chandon and Taittinger. The grape varieties in this region are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, which are present in different proportions in Champagne wines. The so-called Blanc de Blanc, made only from Chardonnay grapes, and Blanc de Noir, which is white champagne but made from red Pinot Noir grapes, are also often produced. A curious and little known fact is that in Champagne sparkling rose is made with a mixture of white and red wine, and not as is the standard for the production of rose wine.

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is the world's most famous white-wine grape and also one of the most widely planted. Of course, the most highly regarded expressions of the variety are those from Burgundy and California, but many high-quality examples are made in Italy, Australia, New Zealand and parts of South America. Describing the flavours of Chardonnay is not easy. This is not thanks to the complexity of the varietal itself but usually due its susceptibility to winemaking techniques - such as Malolactic fermentation which gives distinctive buttery aromas or Fermentation or maturation in oak barrels which contributes to the wine with smokey notes of vanilla, honey and even cinnamon, and not last the lees contact while in barrel imparts biscuity, doughy flavours. And all these incorporated with the varietal aromas of tropical (banana, pineapple and guava) to stone fruits (peach, nectarine and apricot), sometimes even citrus and apple notes. Climate plays a major role in dictating which fruit flavours a Chardonnay will have - warm regions (California, Australia ) make more tropical styles; temperate zones (southern Burgundy, New Zealand) - stone fruit notes, while the very coolest (Chablis, Champagne) lean towards green-apple aromas.
