Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Issue #123, November/December 2005)
(Jacquesson et Fils Avize Grand Cru Extra Brut) ($77) Light gold. Complex and powerful, with smoky scents of grilled hazelnut, buttered toast, ripe pear and floral honey. This is exceptionally rich but the honeyed orchard fruit flavors are vivid and racy. Finishes with vibrant, concentrated notes of fresh fig and bergamot. A superb all-chardonnay Champagne that should age exceptionally well. 93 points |
