Legras & Haas, L.T.S. Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru, Champagne, Champagne, France 2008 Legras & Haas, L.T.S. Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru, Champagne, Champagne, France 2008

The classic Blanc de Blancs Champagne our judges selected as Best In Show this year is, like their English sparkling wine choice, one that has been amply aged, and brims with the pleasures of age: a calm, steady mousse; refined aromas in which the fruit, bread and brioche of youth have given way to something deeper, stonier, more grounded in the natural world, the fruits calmed and sublimated, the acid profile rounded and smoothed while retaining all its energy. The 2008 vintage always promised much, though it was one which needed patience. That patience is amply rewarded in this pure, pristine, almost elemental wine.
