Champagne R&L Legras is a champagne house based in Pierry (Côte des Blancs), founded by Honoré Legras in 1808, although the family tradition goes back to the 16th century. The house is currently run by the sixth generation of the family.
- Vineyards: The vineyards lie in the Côte des Blancs, a region known for the absolute dominance of Chardonnay. The vineyards are extensive and the wines are vinified at the estate.
- Working methods: The production combines tradition and modernity with an emphasis on care and precision. The champagnes are presented at top gastronomic tables, including Michelin-starred restaurants.
- Champagnes: The range is characterised by rigour and a gastronomic passion. A specific mention goes to the Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Présidence Vieilles Vignes (e.g. vintage 2013), which is available in formats such as 150cl.
- Contact & Visits: The house is known for its excellent value for money. Visitors can get in touch via +33 (0)3 26 54 50 79 or [email protected]; the website is currently under maintenance.
The house is distinct from Champagne Pierre Legras (based in Chouilly, founded in 1662, run by Vincent and Marcelline Legras), another independent family business that is also active in the Côte des Blancs.
