Champagne Extra Brut Avize Grand Cru (Dégorgement Tardif) 1995 150cl

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.
