Avize Champ Caïn 2005 Champagne Jacquesson

Avize - Champ Caïn 2005

グラン・クリュ・アヴィズの、チョークの記憶。

グラン・クリュ・アヴィズの畑から生まれた、シャルドネ100%の2005年。淡いゴールドに熟成を示すわずかなアンバーの輝き、繊細で持続する泡。白桃やレモンコンフィ、焼きリンゴ、アカシアの花に、時とともにブリオッシュや蜂蜜、ヘーゼルナッツが立ち上がります。凝縮した果実と直線的な酸が拮抗し、チョーキーな質感と塩味が長く残ります。帆立貝とカリフラワーのムースとともに。

Tasting note

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.
