Description
What type of wine it is
Marie-Noëlle Ledru Champagne Grand Cru is an iconic wine produced by the famous Marie-Noëlle Ledru winery. It is a prestigious Grand Cru Champagne from the renowned French region, characterised by a dry style, great evolution, and a distinct chalky minerality. On the palate, it is sharp and complex, accompanied by elegant tertiary notes of toasted brioche and butter. This wine is crafted following the rigorous procedures of the Metodo Classico, ensuring a structured and deep profile that perfectly introduces its noble geographical origin.
Where it comes from
The Champagne originates from the famous and historic commune of Ambonnay, located in the Marne department. This territory boasts deep rural roots and represents one of the most suitable areas for high-quality viticulture within the region. The grapes come from old vines aged between thirty and forty years, rooted in soils that give the wine its unmistakable limestone character. The characteristics of this exceptional terroir are fully reflected in an intense aromatic profile, expressing the essence of the local viticultural landscape in an authentic and precise way.
How it is produced
The production process follows the principles of the Metodo Classico with meticulous attention, maximising the purity and quality of the raw material. The base vinification is conducted entirely in steel tanks, a fundamental technical step to preserve the freshness and integrity of the aromas. Subsequently, after the secondary fermentation in the bottle and prolonged ageing on the lees, the production cycle concludes with rigorous manual disgorgement. This high-precision artisanal technique allows for a wine with a clear character, ready to express all its majestic structural complexity.
