Part of the 2016 Pur Terroir series, Pur Avize is the ultimate expression of the terroir of this Grand Cru village.

Chardonnay grapes from 3 plots in Les Avats, Les Maladries and Les Chapelless are chosen to provide a balance of the characteristics produced by different soil types with more or less concentration of chalk. The cuvée is tiraged under natural cork sealed with a staple and then hand disgorged.

TASTING NOTE

2016

Pur Avize 2016 is released after more than 5 years of ageing under a natural cork. From 3 plots selected in the heart of Avize’s terroir, we have crafted a Bonville translation of this famous village.

Very fine bubbles let us guess the energy contained in the Champagne. The first scents totally reflect our chalky soils, combining flint notes to a mineral freshness. Aromas of pineapple and pear come to complete this pleasant nose.

The perfect balance of the Pur Avize 2016 keeps going with a soft and creamy texture in the mouth, full and generous. Some warm aromas such as wax and marzipan add an extra dimension to this wine and match on a long ending, intense and fresh."
