Territory and wine style
The vineyard Champ Caïn is located in Avize, an area historically suited for Chardonnay and classified as Grand Cru. The south-facing position favors complete ripening and yields grapes capable of expressing tension, aromatic richness, and a distinctive mineral profile. In this context, Jacquesson works a limited plot to obtain a Champagne of precise origin, with a strong territorial identity. The Extra Brut setting highlights its purity, while the late disgorgement and prolonged aging contribute to defining a mature, deep, and refined wine.
Tasting notes
In the glass, it presents a light straw yellow color, enhanced by slight golden reflections and a fine, persistent perlage. The bouquet is broad and complex, with notes of dried fruit, honey, ripe apple, and a clear mineral imprint. On the palate, it shows structure, energy, and balance, with a creamy texture supported by freshness and verticality. The finish is long, elegant, and consistent with the maturity of the sip, leaving a sensation of harmony and depth that invites a second tasting.
