AR Lenoble Millesime Centenary Celebration Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs, Champagne

AR Lenoble is celebrating 100 years in 2020. After a century of fierce independence, they are honouring the four generations who have built this unique Champagne house by releasing a minuscule allocation from their back vintage holdings. Less than 400 of these rare, exclusive, and incomparable bottles are available worldwide. We have worked closely with the winery to secure a small but significant allocation of these wines.

The provenance of these centenary bottles is unrivalled. These back vintages were disgorged to order for Langton’s and we have directly imported the Champagnes. Collectors and those looking for unique Champagne experiences should move quickly. Allocations are in the single figures across some vintages.

'We are proud of our 100 year history but it is our independence that makes AR Lenoble. We simply could not make these Champagnes our way if we had to answer to anyone but ourselves. We make wines with personality.'
- Christian Holthausen
