Gault&Millau's review

2022 92/100

This 100% Chardonnay vintage 2012, 16% of which was vinified in oak barrels, comes alive with charming columns of very fine bubbles. The nose reveals the liveliness of candied orange and the sweetness of Viennese pastries. The palate, with its soft, buttery attack, is reinforced by citrus fruits and a finish of salivating bitterness. A highly enjoyable blanc de blancs to accompany pata negra ham.

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.
