Product Description
A graceful, Chardonnay-driven Champagne that epitomizes precision and purity. Intuition Brut by Legras & Haas is crisp yet generous — a luminous expression of the Côte des Blancs, balancing citrus brightness with creamy texture and a refined mineral backbone.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Legras & Haas is a family-run Champagne house based in Chouilly, a Grand Cru village in the Côte des Blancs, founded in the late 20th century by François Legras and Brigitte Haas. The Intuition Brut represents the house’s signature cuvée, blending primarily Chardonnay from Chouilly with select Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier parcels from the Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne. Base wines are vinified in stainless steel to preserve freshness and aged for an extended period on the lees (around 36 months) before disgorgement, ensuring fine mousse and depth. The dosage is restrained (approx. 7 g/L), highlighting purity and finesse over sweetness.
Critics Reviews
-
Wine Enthusiast awarded 93 points, calling it “a beautiful, finely textured Champagne with a silky mousse and bright citrus intensity, anchored by gentle brioche and chalky minerality.”
-
James Suckling (92 points) described it as “fresh and elegant, with lemon curd, pear, and light almond tones leading to a polished, dry finish.”
-
Decanter noted it “shows classic Côte des Blancs poise — crisp orchard fruit and lemon zest lifted by tension and length.”
Tasting Profile
-
Nose: Aromas of green apple, Meyer lemon, and white peach accented by brioche, almond blossom, and chalk dust.
-
Palate: Lively and precise — fresh citrus, pear, and golden apple framed by subtle creaminess from lees contact. A fine bead carries through, revealing layers of pastry, mineral, and subtle salinity.
-
Finish: Long, clean, and mouthwatering, with lingering notes of lemon zest, hazelnut, and crushed chalk.
