Not deceive you the maison was founded only in 1991, the Legras’ are winemakers since seven generations. We are in Chouilly,
one of the five Grand
Cru villages of
the Côte des Blancs, where the company cultivates 15 hectares of the 35
available (the others are in Vavray, Bassu
and Les Riceys).
Last year, while I chatted and
drank with François
Legras, owner (with his wife
and three children) and Chef de cave, we agreed on many
issues, not least how this bdb
represents the style maison.
It stimulates the nostrils with chalk,
followed by crisp citrus tones - lemon and citron -
but also plum and
pear, rosemary and thyme, with a hazelnut
enchanting me.
The palate is
fresh and round. The
taste confirms the richness of the olfactory sequence, with valuable
and lively mix between minerality and a
significant fruity presence. Elegant creaminess and uncontrollable
drink, closing fast, with references of anise
and chalk.
Excellent sips as an aperitif.
