In lovely shape with biscuity butterscotch secondary aromas layered over the still-racy mineral brightness.

From 100% grand Cru fruit from the village of Chouilly . This bottle is spot on with incredible focused aromatics of green apple , lemon creme , saline , thyme, white flowers . Powerful yet well-balanced with a salinity and toasted nut nuances buried in the Lush apple fruit. A young Champagne that should develop nicely with some bottle age and undoubtedly the best young A R Lenoble Champagne we have tasted!

Bright citrus start, then mid palate there is this weird metallic taste that stays throughout the finish. Bottling date: 1st semester 2013. LB

More expressive and hight toned than the last bottle. Much more toasty fruit and pastry notes and plenty of zip. Lenoble has been a fav of mine lately

Feb 8th, 2017Delicious and impressive. High volume BdB. Rich nose of apricot, pineapple, mushroom, vanilla, toasted brioche, orchard flowers. Palate offers contrast with its ripe attack and then mouthwatering, nervous, and lemony citric notes. Mineral underpinnings throughout.

This is 100% Chardonnay, my favorite style, still family run by a brother-sister team. Clear straw yellow color with light bubbles. Fresh fruit on nose slight yeast hints. On the palate apples, lemon zest with biscuit notes. Minerality and vivid acidity bring this bubbly to a lasting finish. Nice!

Bracing, crisp acidity gives a powerful foundation to this wine. The hint of salinity practically screams "oysters!" while the fine mousse underscores the wine's silky texture. A portion of the Wine was aged in wood but there is no hint of wood beyond the slight bump in density. Citrus, acacia, and hawthorn all contribute to the bouquet and palate. Quite long on the finish. Racy and substantial.

Lovely. Totally dry, light yet intense with lime/lemon flavors and a pronounced mineral character. Loved it!
