According to http://www.clarinetperfection.com/clsnLeblancInfo.htm there was a fire in 2003, but grenadilla stock was not lost:

"In 2003 the company's French factory was damaged by a suspicious fire. The ancient La Couture-Boussey plant suffered more than $3 million of damage, but volunteer fire fighters put out the flames before the building was destroyed. Although some inventory was lost, the factory's valuable stock of antique hardwood was not harmed. The factory was back in production about two months after the fire."

I vote for a Noblet 45 myself. Quality instrument at very similar prices. But obviously if it's feasible a Leblanc is the best of those 3 choices.
