Ambonnay

Ambonnay is one of the most important Pinot Noir Grand Cru villages on the Montagne de Reims. Its wines and base wines often suggest depth, ripe red fruit, spice, chalk, and a broad yet structured presence. The village is widely recognized because producers such as Krug and Egly-Ouriet have made Ambonnay an important reference point for powerful Pinot Noir Champagne. For drinkers, Ambonnay signals a fuller, more vinous Grand Cru profile than the leaner Chardonnay villages of the Côte des Blancs.
