Champagne AOC Brut Chouilly Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Idée de Voyage 2012 Pierre Legras

The Champagne Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut Idée de Voyage is produced by the Maison Pierre Legras, whose foundation dates back to 1600. Pierre Legras is a contemporary of Henry XIV and Dom Pérignon. For 11 generations, the maison has been producing high quality Champagne in Chouilly, one of the 17 Grand Crus of Champagne, in the Côte des Blancs.

Champagne is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes. After the vinification, the sparkling process takes place according to the Champenoise method. The aging on the lees is 10 years.

It is characterized by a straw yellow color and a fine and persistent perlage. The nose opens with elegant aromas of yellow and white flowers such as mimosa and acacia, candied lemon peel and iodized notes. On the palate it is fine, fresh and persistent.

Excellent as an aperitif or in combination with smoked fish carpaccio, shellfish, scampi risotto and goat cheese.
