Gault&Millau's review

2023 91/100

Cuvée made from 2019 wines for the base, 2017 and 2018 for the rest. It's also a blend of 68% chardonnay, 21% pinot meunier and 11% pinot noir. It has a golden color with silvery highlights and numerous fine bubbles that form a creamy mousse. The nose announces a gourmet wine with citrus aromas (lemon, pomelo, tangerine), as well as notes of toast and smoke. Minerality is also present with a little aeration. On the palate, the wine's attack is suave, with peach, honey and floral flavors. Creamy bubbles add freshness to the whole. The citrus flavors return on the finish, with a more infusion-style floral note. A straightforward, expressive and well-balanced champagne, to be enjoyed with veal medallions with lemon.

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.
