No.1 Family Estate

HEARTS IN MARLBOROUGH SINCE 1980, ROOTS IN CHAMPAGNE SINCE 1684.

No.1 Family Estate is a boutique Methode Champenoise winery founded in 1997 by Daniel and Adele Le Brun. It is the only winery in New Zealand committed exclusively to producing premium Méthode Traditionelle wine.

For almost 40 years, champagne maker Daniel Le Brun has had one goal: to make Méthode Traditionelle and to do it in Marlborough, New Zealand. Since he planted the first vines in Marlborough, the award-winning winemaker has created wines that rival the best in the world using methods perfected over 12 generations by his family in Champagne.

While Daniel makes the wine, Adele provides the business and marketing flair. The next generation of Le Bruns, son Remy and daughter Virginie, are the faces of the future and are actively involved in building the No.1 brand, in New Zealand and across the world.
