  This is Legrand’s top cuvée which sees a lot of new oak. As usual with him, it was still vigorous, fresh and youthful after its 15 years. I tend to prefer his simpler cuvées where the full throated raspberry, clay and leather tinged fruit is not accompanied by the veneer of sophistication brought by the wood. Let me not exaggerate, though; this is a good Champigny and the wood notes are well integrated and have none of those obtrusive vanilla or caramel often observed. The leather notes are perhaps more acrid that often and the brett paranoid may object. Good.
