Legras & Haas Brut Rose Champagne

Winemaker Notes:  This Non-Vintage Rosé Champagne is an example of fine craftsmanship. It reveals the finesse and elegance of perfectly preserved Pinot Noirs which form the core of this genuine blend, made exclusively from first press wines. The Red Les Riceys wines give overall structure to the wine whilst the Chardonnays from Chouilly and Vitry allow the Pinots to take center stage whilst imparting incomparable freshness. CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Jeb Dunnuck - "Based on the 2020 vintage, the NV Champagne Brut Rose is a blended style with 47% Chardonnay, 20% Meunier, and the rest Pinot Noir, 9% of which is red wine coming from Les Riceys. From 2020 onward the house began blocking malolactic fermentation on the Meunier to retain more complexity. This rose pours a bright pink hue and opens to delicate reductive and smoky aromas lifting from the glass, including loads of orange peel citrus, framboise, and fresh flowers. Medium-bodied and energetic, it has an excellent pithy structure and notes of wet stone as well as snappy lift through the finish. A very nice, food-friendly rosé, it will continue to improve over the coming 10-12 years."


Wine Spectator - "Delivers a firm spine of acidity that's well-integrated with the plush texture and finely woven flavors of macerated cherry, licorice, mandarin orange peel and mineral. Shows good intensity in a harmonious frame, with delicate spice and herb notes on the chalky finish. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier."


Wine Enthusiast - "Aged on the lees for 18 months, this Champagne is still vibrant and full of young, bright fruits. Its acidity and texture are bright and need to soften"
