Fallet-Gourron Avize Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Grand Cru NV

Fine Wine Library Tasting note:

Made from 100% Chardonnay from the Grand Cru vineyards of Avize, the wine is matured in oak for 12-24 months before spending a further 7-8 years ageing on its lees. The result is a rich opulent Champagne that shows lots of yeasty brioche aromas, a hint of oxidative nuttiness balanced out by the classic chalkiness that Avize Champagnes offer. The palate is big and creamy but due to being on the lees for an extended time period, it has plenty of freshness and vibrancy to balance it out. It concludes with a long finish.
