Charles Legend
Brut Blanc de Blancs | 100% Chardonnay
"Sophistication in its purest form: a tribute to precision where French minerality merges with a bubble of aristocratic finesse."
The Expression of the Côte des Blancs
Charles Legend's Blanc de Blancs is an ode to the Chardonnay variety. Made exclusively from white grapes, this Champagne stands out for its crystalline freshness and enviable mineral verticality. What sets it apart is its patience: an extended aging of 4 to 5 years on lees, which allows the natural tension of the grape to evolve into a silky texture and a complexity of white flowers and subtle brioche.
