Lot presentation
Yprésien Legrand Latour 2018
Located in Fleur-la-Rivière, in the heart of Champagne’s winegrowing landscape, not far from Epernay,the estate has been flourishing for four generations. Thibault came back to work on the estate in 2007 and took over the family business in 2012. A sensitive advocate of striking a harmonious balance with nature and a firm believer in the benefits this has for the land and the wine, the winemaker tends each plot with the utmost care without chemical fertilisers or weedkillers. The estate has been certified organic since 2012 and biodynamic agriculture since 2016. The property stopped selling grapes to cooperatives in 2017.
In the winery, Thibault patiently vinifies his grapes, with minimal intervention (long natural fermentations in barrels, a little sulphur only when absolutely necessary) then ages his Champagnes in a cellar custom-built by his father. The utmost care is taken with each bottles being riddled by hand. The result is a remarkable range of Champagnes with fine bubbles, a magnificent fruitiness, and energy, accompanied by notes of pastries and sometimes slight reduction.
