A 100% Brut-Zero Chardonnay, disgorged in April 2023. This has a gorgeous nutty nose with brioche and toasted almond aromas – smells nicely mature with soft buttery and floral notes. Crisp and dry on the palate, clean and lively, with tiny persistent bubbles. Tons of citrus – lemon and lime but also vanilla, ground almonds, acacia and just-baked pastry flavours with underlying mineral aspects and bitter grapefruit spice that settles on the tongue. Juicy and mouthwatering, super fresh and bright with crispness all the way through and a long, elegant finish. Dosage 2.3g/l. Winemaker Hervé Jestin.

Varietal

Champagne Blend

The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.

Region

Champagne

The beautiful rolling hillsides of the Champagne region of France have, for hundreds of years, been producing many of the world's most famous wines. The sparkling white wines to come out of Champagne's prestigious wineries have conquered the world, and are drank in celebration across the globe. The vast majority of the region is under vine, and grows predominantly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varietals, which are usually blended together by master wine-makers in order to make their recognizable and widely loved produce. The north-easterly region of Champagne has a relatively cool climate, and quite a lot of rainfall, making it far from ideal for ripening grapes. However, the presence of heavily forested areas in the region helps maintain a balanced temperature, and the generations of expertise the wineries hold clearly produces excellent results in spite of the climatic problems.

The 2013 Chateau d'Avize Blanc de Blancs Brut Zero is 100% Chardonnay with zero dosage. It sings of lemon curd, spiced apples, and honeysuckle with hints of beeswax, cashews, and chalk. The elegant, refreshing, light-bodied palate delivers delicate citrus and apple layers and a chalky finish.

Wine Spectator

A 100% Chardonnay, the 2013 Château d'Avize from Champagne Leclerc Briant evokes aromas of almonds, spices, pastry, lemon oil and spring flowers. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and vinous, it's enrobing and well-balanced, with a delicate, fine mousse and long, spicy finish that segues into a saline aftertaste.
