Legrand-Latour Yprésien 2019 Brut Nature Champagne

The 4th generation of the Legrand-Latour family works the vineyards under the premises of biodynamics and for this fantastic Blanc de Noirs they grow Meunier and Pinot Noir grapes in the Marne Valley (Vallée de la Marne, and exactly in the villages of Vandiere and Verneuil).

Known for their penchant for identifying wines according to the geological composition of the vineyards, Ypresien refers to soils of marine origin between 56 and 48 million years old.

Vintage 2019, 75% Meunier with 25% Pinot Noir, base wine aged in barrels on lees for 12 months, bottled in September 2020 and disgorged in July 2023 (34 months on lees), 0g dosage. 7369 bottles made.

Our sensations: in the glass, the red varieties predominate due to its pink hue. On the nose it is complex, red fruits such as cherry, notes of pastry with cream, citrus, and on the palate it is delicate, with the typical tension of champagnes with character, juicy citric acidity wrapped in small bubbles with a very long finish. A balanced wine that can be enjoyed now or cellared for a few years.
