Avize Champ Cain 2005

This magnum comes from Champ Caïn, a single parcel in Avize planted with Chardonnay in 1962. Jacquesson bottles the single-vineyard champagne of the 2005 vintage in only 500 magnums, with one available per order. The large format is more than a gesture: the wine ages more slowly in it and stays fresh for longer.

Stylistically, a Chardonnay from Avize stands for precision, mineral drive and citrus fruit that opens over the years in bottle into brioche and nut. Chill the magnum to 10 to 12 °C and pour into large white wine glasses. It is ideal for a table of six to eight people, for example with lobster, sole or aged Comté. Gift packaging is included at no extra charge.
