Récoltant manipulant, look for these 2 words on a Champagne Label. A grower who makes and markets Champagne under their own label, from grapes exclusively sourced from their own vineyards and processed on their own premises. Classic over 70% of the grapes come from the village of Avize, the rest from Oger. Nice mousse and fine bubble flow. Apple and crisp pear with lemon zest and toasty biscuit flavors. Lingering finish, tangy notes, great balance with mineral ending. Tasting great.

Yeasty, marmalade and butter-biscuity! Lemon peel, olive oil, hazelnut and sesame. Fantastic texture, lively mousse, with a pronounced lemon after initial brioche. Clean as white marble; chalky, with a powdered lemon veracity. Dried violets and a touch of chicory flower. Creamy throughout and truly extraordinary! #GrandCru #grandcruclassé #grandcruvalue #grandcruclasse #champagnes #champagneday #champagnealldamnday #bubbles #bubblesalldamnday #champagnecampaign #frenchwine #blancdeblancs

What a comparison... 2009 reserve vin clair vs 2009 Champagne! Thanks Olivier for making one of the most complete wines from this vintage!

A preview bottle that shows off the rich charm of this "miracle" vintage. This all Avize, all stainless bdb delivers every time Olivier makes it. Very nice with simple tortellini!
