Champagne Legras & Haas

As much as anyone, I hate to be wrong, but concerning this harvest, I can live with it.

About a month ago, during a vineyard walk with a friend, I was extremely worried by what I was looking at: tiny berries, looking a little tired from fighting the drought, lagging in ripening, and with very little sign of véraison to be seen.

Yet things took a turn for the best, although we didn’t get any rain. Temperatures dropped a little and, quite magically, everything is fine now. The Chardonnay grapes are delicious. Strolling through the rows and eating full clusters is a joy. This harvest is proof that Ch*****ne is indeed a magical place.

This harvest, however, is not without challenges. High potential ABV will be testing us. In the cellar, high pH will require extreme care. But today, I have no doubt about two things: this is a harvest to remember, and it will be a vintage.

With our eyes on the thermometer and nonstop research in the cellar for the past decade, we’re ready. Blessed with the trust of Rémi and Olivier, we’ll make the best of this year.

Lunch and afternoon of culinary and philosophical entertainment at Joke and Joey van Heesbeen in Rosendaal … Simply snow on the road from reims to the Netherlands yesterday morning, surreal sight of children ice skating on small bodies of water and the intensely studious atmosphere of old coach house.

Our 2026 reservation calendar is now open.

We are pleased to share the available dates for visits and tastings at the estate for the first half of the year. As always, days marked as unavailable truly are: between fairs, regulatory obligations, and a few unavoidable logistics, flexibility is limited.

Tastings remain free of charge. They do not always include a cellar visit; this depends on ongoing work and the number of visitors. When conditions allow, we go down to the cellar; when they do not, the experience in the glass remains the same.

This spring, the estate will be closed on Easter Monday, 1 May, 8 May, and Whit Monday, but open friday and saturday on Ascension weekend. A few Saturdays are available (7 Feb, 28 Mar, 9 May, and 13 June); outside these dates, weekend tastings are not offered, although order collection remains possible in partnership with Munificence - Bar à Ch*****ne - Chouilly

A reminder for visitors from afar: restaurant hours in France are strict, especially outside major cities. After 14:00, finding a good table becomes difficult, which is why we close the tasting room from 12:00 to 14:00 to allow for proper lunch.

To ensure the best experience for all guests, we kindly ask visitors to avoid perfume, respect arrival times, and refrain from self-service in the tasting room. We reserve the right to interrupt a tasting when behaviour makes it necessary.

We look forward to welcoming you in 2026, and thank all of you for your trust and the warmth you bring to the estate.

Les Sillons: A Mark of Distinction⁠
⁠
Sillon (noun, from Old French: “seillon”): A furrow created by the plowshare in cultivated soil.⁠
⁠
From the unique geology and cool climate of the Northern Western point of the Côte des Blancs, specifically from the renowned plot of Derrière Partelaines, comes Les Sillons. This ch*****ne embodies incredible freshness, a saline texture, and an austere structure. Crafted exclusively in oak foudres and puncheons of impeccable origin, Les Sillons has been a staple in our collection, made almost every year since its selection.⁠
This new label, radiant and solar, is perfectly introduced with the 2016 vintage; perhaps the boldest expression of Les Sillons yet.⁠
