2012 Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Collection, Champagne Lenoble

Chardonnay

The 2012 Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru from Champagne Lenoble is simply remarkable, combining richness, elegance and complexity due to it's extended ageing.  Wildly complex, and by no means a shrinking violet, showing an inviting nose of toasty oak, crushed bourbon biscuits and honeyed richness. The palate is soft yet very rich, with candied citrus fruit, aniseed and more honeyed nuances, leading to a fresh, impeccably balanced finish.  Terrific now, yet has plenty of potential to develop further for those who like their Champagnes big and rich.Crafted from 100% wines from the 2012 harvest, this vintage champagne begins with traditional pressing and vinification in tanks to preserve freshness and precision. The wines are aged in a combination of tanks and 228-litre oak barrels, adding texture and complexity while maintaining balance. The cuvée is then matured on its lees for more than 10 years in the house's historic cellars, developing remarkable depth and refinement. Finished with an Extra Brut dosage of 3g/L, the wine combines richness, freshness and exceptional ageing character.Founded in 1920, The Lenoble Champagne house has built its reputation on a commitment to craftsmanship, excellence and authenticity, with values passed down through successive generations. In 2023, Champagne Lenoble entered a new chapter when it was acquired by the Frère-Gallienne family, whose passion for fine wine continues to drive the estate's pursuit of quality and innovation. Lenoble's philosophy is rooted in the belief that Champagne is the noblest of wines. Through limited production, meticulous attention to detail and a dedication to creating "Grands Vins de Champagne", the house has earned the respect of both connoisseurs and discerning wine lovers around the world.
