TASTING NOTE
Vintage
"Vintage years go along with particular harvest. With its dry summer and its warm harvest, 2015 is one of these particular years.
Brought up from our cellars for the first time in May 2022 after more than 6 years on ageing, our Millésime 2015 is full of promises.
The beautiful spring naturally kept going to a quite warm beginning of summer. The flowering was complete in the middle of June, followed by a hot and dry summer. Harvest began on September 7th with light grapes due to the drought, but a great natural maturity of 11 degrees Baume.
Now, this well born vintage has kept a superb freshness. Notes of fresh fruits wrap this cuvée with a lot of elegancy Avize’s chalky subsoil resonates again at the end to fade into minty and iodized touches."
Olivier Bonville
Food Match
