"The 2016 Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Avizoise derives from lieux-dits Les Robarts and Les Gros Yeux in Avize, two sites that are characterized by deeper clays than those in the parcels that inform Minéral. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of apple blossom, citrus zest, confit orange, freshly baked bread and warm biscuits, it's full-bodied, satiny and layered, with terrific concentration, racy acids and a long, penetrating finish. This concentrated, vinous, chiseled Champagne is a remarkable wine!"

"The 2016 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs L’Avizoise Grand Cru is dense and powerful in bearing.  There’s real depth here, along with an intriguing tropical quality that I don’t recall seeing in this wine often.  Apricot, tangerine peel, white flowers and crushed rocks all build effortlessly.  In most vintages, the Avizoise needs a bit of time in bottle, but the 2016 will be ready to drink on release.  There’s certainly a ton to like.  Dosage is 3 grams per liter.  Disgorged: July 2022."
