Gault&Millau's review 2023

A particularly successful 2012 vintage. The nose opens classically with notes of lemon, preserved lemon with a hint of toasted-vanilla and another very elegant, fresh menthol. On the palate, the wine is racy, intense, straightforward and well-structured. Superlatively fresh, with a hint of citrus bitters, this very fine cuvée, which takes on even greater fullness with aeration, makes you want to have more.

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.
