92 JG. "The 2002 A.R. Lenoble 'Collection Rare' Blanc de Blancs is a very, very good wine . . . . The deep and complex nose offers up a ripe blend of pear, clementine, chalky soil tones, smoke and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, crisp and complex, with elegant mousse, a good core of fruit, crisp acids and very good length and grip on the wide open, but nicely balanced finish."
