Disgorged in May 2019 with 1.5 grams per liter dosage, the 2009 Extra-Brut Grand Cru Avize - Champ Caïn is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, blanched almonds, freshly baked bread and mandarin. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and precise, it's elegant and refined, with a pinpoint mousse, discreet depth at the core and a long, chalky finish. Beautifully balanced with minimal dosage, it shows the results the Jacquesson brothers' viticulture were already delivering over a decade ago.<br/><br/>
Producer
Jacquesson
One of Champagne’s most respected houses, ranking amongst Bollinger and Krug, Jacquesson Champagne was established over 200 years ago in Dizy, France. The house has become a legendary producer under the management of the Chiquet brothers, Laurent and Jean-Hervé, who took over the estate from their father in the 1980s. The duo’s new-aged philosophies have taken a more terroir-based direction, crafting cuvées that are neither filtered, nor fined. Their zero dosage technique, creates an extreme juxtaposition between minimal sugar and extended lees aging, to produce some of the purest and most dignified Champagnes. The estate today produces four single-vineyard Champagnes, a Cuvée 700 and a Cuvée 700 D.T. The imitable style behind each of Jacquesson’s wines is effortless. Their wines are linked to the quality of the Chiquet brothers’ raw materials, typical terroirs, and most of all, tastes.
