N.V. Bernard Ledru Champagne Tradition Brut 1er Cru (Bouzy, Champagne AOC, northern France) mushroom cork with wire cage, 12% - imported to USA by Valley View Wine Sales, Glen Ellen, California – smells sharp and fresh with light yeast, bit mineral on nose as it opens up, mouthfeel tight with firm bubbles, finely tuned foaminess, tasted crisp pointed green apples, light pastry shell, delicious very fresh wonderful apple pie, what can I say? this was a delicious classic finely tuned champagne that sung with both pumpkin-coconut soup and a series of cheeses, a beautiful food wine that still had plenty of verve on day two, a wine that makes me wonder why I don't have a champagne every week! Worth the $40 I paid and more.

Nope. I am told Pinot Meunier is prominent in the blend, but it is not a Blanc de Noirs. Trying some of the still reds from the area would indeed offer a fascinating experience . . . but I've never seen one in the US.Tim York wrote:Some of the still red Coteaux Champenois from Bouzy and Ambonnay (Pinot noir) are also truly delicious. Parker seems to deny their existence. Was your brut a Blanc de Noirs?Keith M wrote:N.V. Bernard Ledru Champagne Tradition Brut 1er Cru (Bouzy, Champagne AOC, northern France)
