To celebrate our centenary, we have released 8 amazing vintages! 2020 is the year of the centenary of Champagne AR Lenoble, founded by Armand-Raphaël Graser, the great-grandfather of Anne and Antoine Malassagne, in 1920. 4 generations have succeeded each other over the last 100 years, each one of them committed to making sure that AR Lenoble remained totally family-owned and completely independent. Because of our values and convictions, it would not have have made sense for us to create a «Cuvée du Centenaire» for this special year. We preferred to share the history of our family and the soul of our house. Therefore we chose to release some rare bottles

In 1973, Jean-Marie Malassagne, nephew of Joseph and grandson of Armand-Raphäel by his mother, took over from Joseph and kept the estate in the family. The only son of Marie-Madeleine Graser and Léon Malassagne, he grew up in Chouilly. As soon as he finished secondary school, this son of a winemaker began to work in his family’s vineyards. But these years in the vineyards were marked by harsh winters and cruel frosts. Harvests were very small (the average yield per hectare in 1951 was 2900 kg) and the resulting production of champagne was not significant enough for him to support himself. Life in the vineyards of Champagne was very difficult.

Armand-Raphaël, the pioneer, was succeeded by his son, Joseph, the happy-go-lucky chap who liked to spend money, in 1947. Jo was blessed with a strong flair for public relations but he he lacksed the managerial skills of his father. His extravagant social life cost him dearly and upon his retirement in 1973, the house was consumed by debt and none of his children was keen to follow in his footsteps. Although it appeared that no future was possible, two new generations would soon follow that would breathe new life into the business. — Armand-Raphaël, le pionnier, a été remplacé par son fils, Joseph, le type joyeux qui aimait dépenser de

In 1947, Joseph Graser succeeded his father Armand-Raphaël as one of only 2 boys among 7 children. As his brother Jean-Marie decided to become a priest, it was “Jo” who logically took over the reins of business. A graduate of HEC and a scholar, he even became the mayor of Damery. Much more extroverted than his father, Joseph added a much more festive spirit to AR Lenoble, and organised many parties at the domaine. He also started to export AR Lenoble. —- En 1947, Joseph Graser succède à son père Armand-Raphaël. Son frère Jean-Marie ayant décidé de devenir prêtre, c’est “Jo” qui a logiquement repris les rênes des affaires. Diplômé
