This magnificent Grand Cru vintage Blanc de Blancs expresses the distinctive terroir of the Avize village from which it takes its name. The Avizoise is a monocru wine which is crafted from up to 50 year old vines which sit in the vineyards of Les Robarts and La Voie d’Epernay on a hill just to the north of the village itself.
To add richness and extra complexity to the finished Champagne the wine is aged in oak barrels before undergoing the secondary fermentation in the bottle under cork. The Champagne then spends a total of four years ageing in the bottle with the lees before disgorging and its eventual release.
Tiny persistent streams of bubbles are the first thing you’ll notice as you pour out a glass of this exquisite Champagne, followed by evocative aromas of citrus, freshly-baked croissants and ripe peach. On the palate there is a very subtle touch of sweetness which balances out the rich toasty and pastry flavours. The opulent character of this Blanc de Blancs make it an ideal aperitif for a special occasion or a charming match for elegant seafood dishes like oysters, scallops or fresh prawns.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
