This Champagne comes from the Grand Cru Avize vineyards. As it ages, the aroma of nuts and toast spreads, perfectly harmonizing with the rich fruitiness. The fine bubbles envelop the palate, and the long-lasting finish leaves an elegant impression, making it the perfect bottle for a special occasion.

Owning & Enjoying

Tasting notes
Pale gold in colour with a slight amber sheen that indicates age.
The very fine and persistent bubbles evoke the pure minerality of Grand Cru Avize.

The first impression is one of tension and depth, with notes of white peach, lemon confit, baked apple and acacia flowers.
Over time, notes of brioche, honey, hazelnut, mineral powder and chalk emerge.
The smoky aroma from aging and the salty aroma of sea breeze add complexity.

On the palate, the concentrated fruit and linear acidity are in perfect balance.
While it has the rich body typical of the 2005 vintage, it is dominated by the firm structure and taut minerality that are characteristic of Jacquesson.
The chalky texture and saltiness linger on the palate, with subtle hints of dried fruit and toast remaining pleasantly at the end.
The low dosage highlights the pure character of the plot.

Pairing
Scallop and cauliflower mousse with caviar
Roasted silver cod with beurre blanc sauce
Chicken vin jaune with creamed morel mushrooms
