Charles Legend

Maison Charles Legend is located at the southern end of the Champagne region, in the Cote des Bar, about 100 km from Epernay. It is a small business founded by the intuition of three young enthusiasts in collaboration with a local winemaker. Mickael Devena, Valentine Clerc and Pierre-Emmanuel Jacquin are the minds behind this project who, fascinated by the world of bubbles and the heterogeneity of the Aube territories, decided to cross paths and passions in this authentic reality. The focus of the project, particularly wanted by the three young men, was to aim at the production of innovative and original Champagnes, far from standard market tastes, in which the sugar content and the addition of sulfites could be minimized. Only in this way could Champagnes show their finesse and authentic face. First conceived for the domestic French market, today Champagnes have also won the palate of fans outside the region.

Only two varieties grow in Charles Legend's territory: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The combination of different environmental factors gives a unique complexity to Champagnes. On the one hand, Chardonnay brings its softness and fragrance through a light and delicate profile, while Pinot Noir gives intensity, fruit and character. Aging on the lees, ranging from 24 months to more than 40 months, completes the production process.

Thus are born territorial and elegant Champagne. Fineness and tension combine with depth and complexity to create a balanced and refined sip, marked by a persistent and fine-grained perlage, with an intriguing and very distinctive aromatic development. A true discovery of the Cote des Bar!
