Marie-Noelle Ledru Champagne Grand Cru Millésime Magnum 2002

Marie-Noëlle Ledru Champagne Grand Cru Millésime 2002 is a rare vintage Champagne presented in an impressive magnum format. Crafted from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, it combines the depth and finesse of Grand Cru fruit with the remarkable ageing potential of the celebrated 2002 vintage. Marie-Noëlle Ledru is highly regarded among Champagne growers for her small-production, terroir-driven wines.

Tasting Notes
With extended bottle age, this Champagne is expected to show a deep golden colour and a fine, persistent mousse. The bouquet should reveal mature Champagne nuances of brioche, toasted nuts, dried orchard fruit and honey, complemented by subtle mineral and savoury notes. On the palate, the wine is likely to be richly textured yet fresh, balancing ripe fruit with lively acidity and a long, complex finish. The magnum format generally allows Champagne to mature more slowly and gracefully, making this a particularly compelling bottle for collectors. It is drinking beautifully now, while careful cellaring may reveal further development.

Production
Produced from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grown in Grand Cru vineyards in Champagne, this vintage cuvée reflects the region’s chalk-rich terroir and the character of the 2002 harvest. Specific details regarding the harvest, vinification, élevage and disgorgement are not provided; as a mature, small-production grower Champagne, it is best approached as an individual expression of its vintage and vineyard origins.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 10–12°C in a white-wine or tulip-shaped Champagne glass to allow its mature aromas to develop. Decanting is not essential, but a gentle pour into a suitable large-format glass can help reveal the wine’s complexity. Its richness and maturity make it an excellent partner for oysters, lobster, roast poultry, veal, mature Comté or other nutty hard cheeses.

Producer
Marie-Noëlle Ledru is one of Champagne’s most respected independent grower-producers, associated with the Grand Cru village of Ambonnay and known for expressive, age-worthy wines made in limited quantities. Her Champagnes have earned a strong following among enthusiasts for their precision, depth and faithful expression of terroir. This 2002 magnum offers a rare opportunity to experience the character of both the producer and one of Champagne’s most admired vintages.
