Marie Noëlle Ledru Blanc de Noirs Cuvée du Goulte 2003 displays a remarkable solar maturity, the result of a hot year, yet retains an impressive structure. The palate develops notes of fresh apple and toasted hazelnut, supported by a tense finish that testifies to its preserved freshness despite its 23 years. This champagne offers a melted tertiary complexity and a beautiful length.
