Gault&Millau's review 2021

A journey through the terroirs of Chouilly, with Chardonnay as all the baggage for a vintage considered to be great. We take you on a luminous golden color with youthful green highlights. The nose is expressive with yellow fruit, citrus, peppery flowers and floral honey. The palate is lively with citrus flavors and a more mineral finish. More extra brut than brut in style, this champagne is best appreciated with sea bass marinated in dill.

Pierre Legras

Pierre Legras was born in 1662 in Chouilly, and with him began a family winegrowing tradition. After obtaining a national diploma in oenology, and as a tribute to his ancestor, Vincent - representing the eleventh generation - created the Pierre Legras champagne brand in 2002 with 5 ha of vines. With his father, he expanded the estate to 10.5 ha, including 7 ha in the Chouilly Grand Cru. In 2011, his wife Marcelline joins him. Chardonnay, of course, forms the backbone of the estate's wines, but Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier also play a part in the flavors. The wines are vinified in a series of small, temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, with malolactic fermentation (MLF) systematically pursued to preserve fruitiness and roundness. It will be certified HVE3 in 2020.
