The Marie-Noëlle Ledru Champagne Grand Cru Extra Brut NV is an exquisite grower Champagne that highlights the purity and finesse of Grand Cru vineyards in Ambonnay, located in the Montagne de Reims. Crafted by the highly regarded Marie-Noëlle Ledru, this Champagne reflects her meticulous approach to winemaking and dedication to traditional methods. The blend typically comprises 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Chardonnay, showcasing the power and precision of the region’s finest terroirs.

On the nose, this Champagne offers an elegant bouquet of green apple, lemon zest, and chalky minerality, with subtle notes of smoky brioche and orchard fruits. The palate is medium-full bodied, with vibrant acidity and flavors of crisp green apple, citrus, and a pronounced mineral core. The finish is long and refreshing, emphasizing balance and precision, characteristic of the Extra Brut style.

This Champagne pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as quail egg-topped tuna tartare, pan-roasted oysters and scallops, or seared duck breast with duck fat fries. While enjoyable now for its freshness and vibrancy, the Marie-Noëlle Ledru Champagne Grand Cru Extra Brut NV will benefit from short-term cellaring over the next 2–3 years, allowing its complexity to deepen further. It is a superb example of grower Champagne that perfectly balances richness and elegance.
