With its explosion of red fruits, this rosé champagne is an example of fine craftsmanship, it reveals the finesse and elegance of perfectly preserved pinots noirs which form the core of this genuine blend, made exclusively from first press wines.

Founded in 1991, the Legras & Haas Champagne House is led by the trio of brothers: Rémi, Olivier, and Jérôme Legras. They are committed to creating genuine and sincere wines. Their family roots are deeply embedded in Chouilly, a Grand Cru village situated at the northern tip of the Côte des Blancs. This area is renowned for its exceptional terroir, and it's here that the Legras-Haas family cultivates 18 hectares of land, exclusively planted with Chardonnay grapes. Beyond Chouilly, their vineyards extend into other esteemed regions such as Les Riceys and Vitry-le-François, contributing to the unique aromatic profile that sets their champagnes apart. The meticulous attention to detail in the vineyard and winery ensures that their champagnes have a remarkable capacity for aging. With time, the flavors evolve, highlighting ripe fruit aromas and a maturing complexity. To best experience the delicate interplay of fruitiness and minerality, it's recommended to enjoy these champagnes within 5 to 6 years from purchase.
