Note di degustazione
Jacquesson produced three single vineyards in 2014. The first of the three, the 2014 Champagne Grand Cru Avize Champ Cain Extra Brut pours a bright straw/yellow hue. I love the nose of this wine, which is enticing and pure, with notes of lemon curd and pastry cream, white peach, delicate smoky earth, and chalk. The palate is medium-bodied and delicately rounded with a graceful texture, and while it's ripe, it keeps light on its feet and has an elegant, supple mousse. It has refreshing and pure acidity, with a precise feel, and it’s long on the palate, floating away gently over time. It should have no problem showing its best over the next two or more decades. Disgorged in January with zero dosage.

Creamy style with buttery aromas, lemon curd, leesy character and almost cheese-like depth. Fine mousse. Light-bodied with zesty, citrusy and lifted acidity. Fresh mineral aftertaste. 100% chardonnay. Drink or hold.
The 2014 Extra-Brut Avize Champ Caïn Grand Cru is a Champagne of extreme precision. Long aging on the lees built gorgeous texture and complexity throughout. Dried pear, chamomile, dried flowers and light hazelnut overtones all grace the 2014. The more mineral-driven, stricter side of Avize begins to emerge with a bit of time in the glass. The no-dosage style works quite well in this airy, focused Champagne. Disgorged: January 2024.
