Marie Noelle Ledru

History of the domaine

The domaine de Marie-Noëlle Ledru, located in the prestigious wine-growing region of Champagne in Ambonnay, is steeped in a rich and fascinating history. Founded by the Ledru family, the domaine has been passed down from generation to generation, with particular attention given to preserving family traditions and innovating in Champagne production. From its humble beginnings, the domaine has flourished, becoming a benchmark in the world of artisanal Champagne. A true Champagne de Vigneron of character, quite difficult to come by, as the domaine covers only 2.5 hectares and produces 12,000 bottles per year! 

Terroir, vines and winemaking

The terroir of the domaine de Marie-Noelle Ledru is a key element of the exceptional quality of its champagnes. The vines are planted on limestone soils, rich in minerals, which give the grapes a unique aromatic complexity. Environmentally respectful growing methods and the traditional expertise of the winemakers also contribute to the quality of the harvested grapes.

More than 80% of the vines are pinot noirs! The rest is planted with chardonnay. 

Winemaking at the domaine de Marie-Noelle Ledru is a meticulous and rigorous process. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully sorted to select only the finest fruits. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, allowing the natural characteristics of the grapes to express themselves fully. The wine is then aged on lees in underground cellars, where it acquires its characteristic complexity and elegance.

The Champagne cuvées of Marie-Noëlle Ledru

The domaine de Marie-Noëlle Ledru is an essential benchmark in the world of artisanal champagne, offering cuvées of exceptional quality that elegantly and refinedly celebrate the French art of living.

Lots of blanc de noirs, perfect for ultra-pinot fans — the Champagne are full, energetic, and of exemplary frankness! 

Brut: beautiful natural fullness, a vegetal touch 

Extra Brut: more balanced, a magnificent Champagne for the table and for ageing 

Cuvée du Goulté: a magnificent expression of the terroirs of Ambonnay. This cuvée has benefited from meticulous winemaking: fermentation in an inert container, malolactic fermentation, and ageing on lees for 5 years. As a result, the Champagne gains in roundness and propels itself towards a breathtaking complexity! Hand disgorgement and bottling without filtration. 

A very flavourful personality. This is a champagne built for ageing and perfect for accompanying dishes of great gastronomy: discreet, precise, distinguished, and excellent!
