Marie Noelle Ledru Brut NV (750ML)

93 Points, John Gilman, View from the Cellar: "I drank this wine in Beaune in the spring of last year, but the bottle did not have a date of disgorgement anywhere on the label. It must have been the most recent disgorgement at the time, as the wine was still young and racy, offering up a lovely, albeit still quite primary bouquet of tart peach, apple, stony minerality, gentle smokiness and a topnote of lemon peel. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with bright acids, laser-like focus, pinpoint bubbles and lovely balance on the very long, precise and minerally finish. Fine juice in the making, but it deserves some time in the cellar."

92 Points, Josh Raynolds, Vinous: "Bright yellow. Sexy, complex aromas of blood orange, toasty lees, spice cake and dried rose. Juicy red berry and citrus flavors stain the palate and gain power with air. Firm mineral-driven and pure, with strong finishing thrust and lingering red berry and floral qualities. This Champagne is made of a blend of grapes from the grand cru vineyards of Ambonnay and Bouzy."
