3 A CUVÉE
Unlike Chardonnay, a fragile, delicate varietal, Pinot Noir is vigorous and is well-adapted to limestone soils to yield wines that stand out for their power and consistency and are well-supported by good structure. The aromas are very elegant, boasting highly sought-after red berry notes. Avize, Aÿ, and Ambonnay are the only three villages in Champagne classified as Grand Cru whose name begins with an "A". This explains how this cuvée got its name, but what makes it unique is its composition of 50% Chardonnay from Avize blended with 50% Pinot Noir from Aÿ and Ambonnay. Two varietals, three Grands Crus that each lend their own personality to the cuvée. Pale gold in colour tinged with copper highlights, this champagne boasts intense, fine bubbles. It is dense and full, a sign of great richness, and leaves lovely legs along the side of the glass.
