It is the R&L Legras’s
cuvèe de prestige - Chardonnay grape 100% - created in honor of the Saint
Patron of the winegrowers, which saw light in 1964 and nowaday 13 vintages only
have been considered worthy to be millesimate.
7 years have passed, but it would
seem to have disgorged yesterday, seen the energetic freshness it communicates.
That same freshness that favors the cleaning of fragrances that gradually
emerge and remain in the nostrils for a long time: bread crust and biscuit,
citrus peel, hazelnut and jasmine, with a dynamic and solid salty-iodine
structure, which recalls, the inimitable craie of the Côte des Blancs.
The first sip is sharp,
lively, even with aggressive bubbles. But in a few minutes that effervescence
is transformed and reborns by putting on the great occasions dress, looking
like a classy Lady.
The acidity is kept really
scathing and explosive, with valuable citrus and spicy cues, while the sip is
enriched, both in width and in depth.
In the end of the bowl, the
mineral-iodate character explodes, leaving a sapid mouth, mixed with oysters.
Long finish, vibrant persistence, about marine sensations and shades of
amaretto and tobacco.
Precision sips and stylistic
rigor like it was a great maison cuvée.
