2015 was exceptional in Champagne, the grapes ripened evenly, accumulated enough sugar, and managed to maintain the necessary level of acidity. The grapes for this Champagne were collected from the villages of Épernay and Moussy, aged on the lees for more than 5 years in steel barrels. The Champagne has delicate aromas of apricot, peach and fig, subtle floral notes and a soft mineral taste. In the mouth, the Champagne is fresh, with a long aftertaste
About the manufacturer
Pierre Legras is a family-run champagne house located in the Grand Cru village of Chouilly, in the Côte des Blancs region. The tradition of winemaking dates back to 1662, when Pierre Legras was born, considered the founder of this dynasty. In 2002, Vincent Legras, a representative of the eleventh generation, founded the Champagne Pierre Legras brand in honor of his ancestor. With the help of his father, he expanded the farm from 5 to more than 10 hectares, of which 7 hectares are in the Chouilly Grand Cru vineyards. In 2011, his wife Marcelline joined the business.
Today, Champagne Pierre Legras is famous for its Blanc de Blancs champagnes, made from Chardonnay grapes grown in limestone soil, which gives the wines a distinctive minerality and elegance. The farm uses sustainable farming and has been certified HVE3 (Haute Valeur Environnementale) since 2020.
