Champagne Jacquesson - Champagne - Avize Champ Caïn - White - 2014

Wine:

From a 1.3-hectare plot planted in 1962 and facing due south on a mix of limestone, clay, and sand, the 2014 Avize Champ Caïn Extra-Brut White Champagne is a rare gem, produced in very limited quantities. This Chardonnay shows a ripe, generous profile with exceptional purity on the palate. Its chalky, mouthwatering energy, refined texture, and delicate mousse make it a truly distinctive and elegant expression of Avize.

Awarded 3 stars in La Revue du Vin de France—a leading French wine guide— Jacquesson Champagne stands as one of the brightest success stories in Champagne in recent years. Led by the Chiquet brothers, who have raised the bar both in the vineyard and the cellar, the estate has become a benchmark for Champagne connoisseurs. Their success is built on precision, biodynamically inspired farming, and painstaking craftsmanship — each wine delivers a moment of pure grace.

No added dosage, fermentation on the lees in large oak casks, and aging in wood: these artisanal Champagnes are among the most distinctive and intense you’ll find.

From the iconic cuvée 700 to rare single-vineyard expressions and the coveted late-disgorged (DT) editions, every wine in the lineup is crafted to an exceptional standard.
