Legras & Haas Champagne Rosé Brut n.v.




The family you already know it – it is a maison familiale - whose components are good récoltants, who cultivate 15 hectares of wineyard. Today it's up to the rosé, assembled, with 50 parts of Chardonnay, 25 of Pinot Meunier and 25 of Pinot Noir (PN coming from Les Riceys village, where the family has 7 hectares).

Intense and bright pink, very fluffy, but nice perlage, not cheesy, as it happens, usually, with many of the entry-level bubbles. The olfactory hatch, despite its fruitiness, is captivating, marked by elegance, with fresh notes of rose, a significant load of red fruit - cherry and strawberry, orange and lychee - and lively touch of ginger.

Streamlined and harmonious mouth, compelling freshness and strongly aligned to the olfactory dynamics, which are integrated by hints of raspberry and currant, with an explicit savory-mineral tone.

Stylish sips - never panders, a weighted dosage and spicy finish – earning greater complexity with a wonderful soupe à l'oignon.
