A 100% Chardonnay, the 2013 Château d'Avize from Champagne Leclerc Briant evokes aromas of almonds, spices, pastry, lemon oil and spring flowers. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and vinous, it's enrobing and well-balanced, with a delicate, fine mousse and long, spicy finish that segues into a saline aftertaste.

The mousse is so soft and plentiful that the entire thing almost melts away in your mouth. Just an excellent Champagne that has real character, more minerality than fruit, moving towards saffran and quince. A more challenging vintage in Champagne than the 2012, but this has the charm that comes with bottle age, with a grilled almond edge, still with citrus and white flower undertones. Beautiful. Hervé Jestin winemaker. Soft 2.3/l dosage, making this Brut Zero. No need to wait longer.
