R&L Legras

Although the origins of the Maison R&L Legras date back to the 16th century, it is from 1808 that its history takes a turn under the impetus of Honoré Legras, who sets out to develop one of the most beautiful vineyards of the Chouilly on the Côte des blancs commune.

Two centuries and six generations have now passed, and today the vineyard of Maison R&L Legras reaches a size of 5 hectares planted in Chardonnay and classified exclusively in Grand Cru. The soils are composed of chalk and limestone, conferring freshness and minerality to the vines that flourish there.

The Champagnes born of great know-how and highly recognized

The Champagne R&L Legras are elaborated with a permanent concern for precision and regularity, where tradition rubs shoulders with modernity, but they benefit above all from a constant attention thanks to a passion that is unfailing.

For several years now, the vintages of Maison R&L Legras have been recognized by the best gastronomic tables:

- Auberge de l'Ile ***

Description RL Legras Brut Blanc de Blancs.

A 100% Chardonnay Grand Cru Champagne with historical roots:

The RL Legras Brut Blanc de Blancs cuvée embodies the excellence of the Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs, an appellation renowned for its crystal-clear Chardonnays. Made from 100% Chardonnay grapes from the Grand Cru terroir of Chouilly, this champagne is produced from grapes grown on chalky soils, giving the wine a distinctive minerality and incomparable aromatic finesse.

Artisanal expertise and precise vinification:

Vinified in accordance with Champagne traditions, this Brut Blanc de Blancs benefits from prolonged aging in the cellar (minimum 3 years on racks), allowing the development of a delicate bubble and subtle aromatic complexity. The color is a bright pale yellow, adorned with golden highlights and enlivened by fine, regular bubbles, reflecting a delicate and persistent effervescence. On the nose, the aromatic bouquet is fresh and lively, dominated by citrus notes such as lemon and grapefruit, accompanied by subtle floral touches. A slight mineral note completes this olfactory palette, adding depth and complexity. On the palate, the attack is clean and precise, followed by a light and airy texture. The citrus aromas perceived on the nose are found on the palate, offering a sensation of freshness and liveliness. The finish is refreshing, marked by an elegant minerality and a pleasant persistence.

A perfect match for special occasions:

Ideal as an aperitif, this champagne also pairs well with oysters, shellfish, or white fish dishes, thanks to its liveliness and elegant structure. Its Brut sugar content (less than 12 g/L) makes it a refined choice for lovers of dry, balanced champagnes.

  • RL Legras, the iconic Champagne house of the finest Michelin-starred restaurants.
  • A 100% Chardonnay Grand Cru, guaranteeing exceptional quality and character.
  • A marked minerality, reflecting the chalky soils of the Côte des Blancs.

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
