A generous and complex Chardonnay Grand Cru
This Monographie – Chouilly Grand Cru vintage by Pierre Legras is a tribute to the Chouilly terroir, the historic cradle of the family estate for over three centuries. Made from 100% Chardonnay from plots classified as Grand Cru , this wine reflects the noble and profound character of the grape variety in its most authentic form.
The vinification is done in oak barrels (53%), without artifice, on a base of 73% of 2018 (including 53% Partelaine + 20% Montaigu ), supplemented by 27% perpetual reserve . The draw dates from March 2019 , and the disgorgement from February 2024. The Brut dosage is 5 g/L , for a generous but balanced cuvée, with rich and structured aromas.
