Pur Avize Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs 2012

Wow, yum. On the nose: sweet canteloupe and citrus with some vanilla/coconut cream. On the palate: lovely acidity, lemon, wet stone, soft cream...excellent palate density, soft, refined mousse and a touch of white pepper. Elegance and a cool decadence in a glass. — 4 years ago

Blanc de Blancs Avize Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

One of my Fav’s! Look for these 2 words on a Champagne Label-Récoltant Manipulant, Grower makes & markets Champagne under their own label, from grapes exclusively sourced from their own vineyards and processed on premises. Fruit/floral bouquet, w/chalky minerals. Fine bubbles, nice mousse, showing quality. Outstanding rich flavors of peach, lemon and honey, well balanced, good structure, creamy. Finish with toasty oak & mineral notes that lingered. Very consistent quality. — 7 years ago

Sans Soufre Cornas Syrah 2017

Bra vin. Animalisk och kryddig doft, med ren, mörk frukt som tittar fram i smaken. Bra längd. Var tveksam till att öppna redan nu men det gick utmärkt! — 7 years ago

Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2016

Surprisingly light, turbid ruby with garnet rim. Fresh aroma of carbonic, sour cherry, violet, green olive; slight reductive funk. Slight spritz, light body (13%), thin in mid palate with high acidity, moderately high chunky tannin, prob skin and stem, and refreshing bitterness. Very pretty. Day 2 - spritz gone, acidity medium — 7 years ago

Perhaps the best champagne I’ve ever had. Clean, crisp front and palate, apples, citrus notes. Some minerals. Love it. Well worth the extra money to celebrate the birth of our son. — 5 years ago

Cuvée Les Belles Voyes Avize Grand Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs

Wow, so much character and personality in this single vineyard. If I recall correctly there is some oak aging on this. So much depth and flavor: mineral of course but some handsome age quality and balance of sweetness and acidity. Very special. — 7 years ago
