Champagne Legrand-Latour 'Éocène' Brut Nature 2021
Vintage Character
Champagne Legrand-Latour 'Éocène' Brut Nature 2021 comes from a notably difficult Champagne season. Twelve days of frost, episodes of hail and repeated spring rain drove severe mildew pressure, leaving yields and maturity unusually uneven before harvest. That cool, demanding pattern favoured a sharper, less opulent profile than 2022. In the exact 2021 Éocène blend, Meunier supplies 75% and Chardonnay 25%, drawn from the layered clay, sand and green-clay soils of Verneuil. Barrel ageing on lees builds texture, but zero dosage and the year's naturally brisk line keep the finish energetic, dry and geologically focused.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The aromatic profile opens with lemon, green apple, pear and white flowers, followed by chalk, bread dough and light spice. The palate is medium-bodied, with high acidity and low tannins. With air and bottle age, dried citrus, almond and toast should become more evident without obscuring the wine's primary character. Serve it with grilled prawns, lemon sole or young goat cheese; these dishes match the wine's weight and savoury detail while allowing its acidity to refresh the palate.
Winery Background
Champagne Legrand-Latour is the producer, and the listed winemaker is Thibault Legrand-Latour. Natural barrel fermentation, gravity handling and long lees ageing in the family caves build breadth without dosage, while Demeter-certified farming supports the Biodynamic tag. This approach supports the stated brut nature profile and keeps fruit, structure and site legible. For a buyer or restaurant list, the value lies in a defined origin, recognisable producer identity and a style that can be explained without unsupported claims. Proper storage will protect freshness and detail, while brief aeration can reveal further mineral, floral or savoury nuance.
