is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Corbon’s Champagne Avize Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs 2014 is a brilliant expression of Chardonnay from the prestigious grand cru vineyards of Avize in the Côte des Blancs. This single-vintage Champagne captures the elegance and precision of the 2014 harvest, offering a nose of white peach, lemon zest, and green apple, intertwined with delicate floral notes and a hint of crushed chalk. On the palate, it is vibrant and refined, with flavors of Meyer lemon, pear, and toasted almond, underscored by a persistent minerality and bright acidity. The finish is long, clean, and refreshingly complex.
The Corbon family’s commitment to sustainable viticulture and traditional winemaking shines in this cuvée. Grapes are hand-harvested from mature vines rooted in the chalk-rich soils that define the Côte des Blancs. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel to preserve freshness, followed by extended aging on lees to develop depth and texture. The wine is bottled with minimal dosage, emphasizing its purity and the terroir’s inherent character.
Avize Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs 2014 is a sophisticated partner for elegant dishes such as lobster, scallops, or creamy risottos. Its lively acidity and mineral backbone also make it a delightful aperitif for moments of celebration. This Champagne is a testament to Corbon’s artistry and the timeless allure of Chardonnay from one of Champagne’s most revered villages.
