Maison Legras & Haas: The Elegance of a Family Heritage in the Heart of the Côte des Blancs

Founded in 1991, Maison Legras & Haas embodies the perfect balance between tradition, precision, and innovation. Nestled in Chouilly, a Grand Cru village in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, the house is run by three brothers — Rémi, Olivier, and Jérôme Legras — heirs to a legacy of craftsmanship passed down with passion. This exceptional terroir, cradle of Chardonnay, shapes champagnes of crystalline purity, where finesse, tension, and mineral elegance shine through.

Exceptional Terroirs for Champagnes of Balance and Character

While Chouilly remains the beating heart of the house, Legras & Haas also cultivates diversity through selected plots in Les Riceys and the Vitry area. These complementary terroirs bring power, roundness, and aromatic complexity. Hand harvesting, precise vinification, and long cellar aging give rise to champagnes of great longevity, revealing notes of ripe fruit, white flowers, and fine chalk.

Each cuvée reflects the house’s philosophy: a perfect balance between fruit, freshness, and minerality — the hallmark of great Champagne wines.

Iconic Cuvées Reflecting the Legras & Haas Expertise

Brut Intuition — The house’s signature cuvée, Intuition embodies the harmony between creativity and precision. Chardonnay expresses finesse, Meunier brings gentle exotic notes, and Pinot Noir adds depth and power. A perfect Champagne for aperitif, or paired with risotto or soft cheese.

Exigence Brut — A bold alliance of Pinot Noir from Aÿ and Chardonnay from Chouilly, this cuvée seduces with its structure and smoothness. Gourmet and precise, it enhances fatty fish, shellfish, and mild cheeses.

Chouilly, Jewel of the Côte des Blancs

Classified as a Grand Cru, Chouilly offers the Legras-Haas family a mosaic of 35 plots over 18 hectares. Its Belemnite and Quadrata chalk soils, rich in water and minerals, produce wines full of body, elegance, and freshness. Each root delves deep into the rock, drawing that saline tension that defines the village’s finest champagnes.

This blessed terroir, where chalk nourishes the vine with constancy, gives Legras & Haas wines their silky texture and rare balance.

A Family House Looking to the Future

In Chouilly, Brigitte Haas continues to inspire the new generation with her sense of detail and humility. As a true guardian of the family spirit, she passed on to her sons the belief that excellence is born from transparency and respect for life.

The house’s core values — independence, loyalty, and honesty — are expressed in every harvest. Rémi, Olivier, and Jérôme, together with their oenologist Maxime, taste, debate, and define each blend with precision. The goal: to craft a wine that “sings true,” faithful to its origin and resonant with balance and emotion.

Precise Gestures and Sustainable Commitment

Legras & Haas is the art of the perfect gesture. From vineyard care to cellar patience, every step reflects respect for natural cycles. The Legras brothers guide the vine rather than control it, cultivating with meticulous care to preserve soil structure and promote biodiversity.

This sustainable philosophy also extends to vineyard management: adapting to climate change, improving working conditions, and passing knowledge to younger generations.

Three Terroirs, One Single Standard: Chouilly, Vitry, and Les Riceys

The Vitry vineyards offer Chardonnays of remarkable purity, with aromas of yellow fruit and white flowers. Les Riceys, in the heart of the Côte des Bar, yield delicate, fruity Pinot Noirs — ideal for Brut Intuition and Rosé blends. Collaborations with Aÿ and Leuvrigny add depth and roundness, enriching each cuvée with a unique signature.

A Symphony of Emotions in Every Glass

Behind every bottle lies a family, a land, and a gesture. Legras & Haas champagnes embody harmony, precision, and the joy of sharing. They speak to connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike, to all who seek authentic emotion in their glass.

The Legras & Haas style? A living wine, precise and true to its origin, singing with the minerality of Chardonnay and the elegance of its terroir.
