Champagne Extra Brut Avize Champ Caïn, a single hectare in the municipality of Avize, consists of only Chardonnay grapes, whose rows are exposed to the south, with an optimal position for maturation. It is a real magic created by Jacquesson and produced only in years considered exceptional, being a vintage. Vinified and aged in wooden barrels, the same where malolactic fermentation also takes place, Extra Brut Champ Caïn ages for 8 years on the lees, before disgorgement and is a unique Champagne, precious and sought after, a truly special taste that combines a perfect maturity with a growing gustatory tension. The glass has a pale straw yellow color with slight golden reflections, shows a very subtle and long-lasting perlage that culminates in a white froth. Delicious aroma of dried fruit, raisins and dried apricot, then hazelnuts and toasted almonds, acacia honey and quince that combine with clear mineral hints. Sip that does not disappoint, is addictive in the complex and powerful structure that speaks of freshness, flavor and fullness of taste. A very enjoyable Champagne already now but able to give emotions at least for the next 15 years. Excellent in combination with oysters, great sea curi in general or with shellfish. To fully appreciate the style, This Champagne should be served at a service temperature of 8/10 ºC.
