"Champ Caïn is a small plot of 1.2ha planted with 12,000 Chardonnay vines. The nose is very expressive, all fruit and brioche. It has a low dosage of 2.5g/l, and the palate is smoky, full-bodied and vinous as only a great cold vintage can be." 

Vinous, 95 Points 

"The 2008 Extra Brut Avize Champ Cain is rich, ample and creamy.  Graphite, dried herbs, hazelnut and tropical notes fill out the wine’s ample frame effortlessly.  Textural richness and vibrancy melded together to make the Champ Cain absolutely compelling.  Tropical overtones add shades of nuance to a Champagne that shows all the resonance and breadth that are such Avize signatures." 

Alcohol: 12.5%
