Avize - Champ Caïn Extra Brut Champagne Chardonnay

2004: Lively lemon lime on entry. Later, a hint of pithy wood. Low dosage of 1.5gr. Broad on the palate after the initial flash of acidity. Still climbing the ladder.

The 2004 Avize - Champ Cain. Haunting and astoundingly good. Racy, elegant. Great mineral notes supported by ample fruit.
