Comments on this

Champagne Jacquesson 3 x "Avize Champ Cain" + 1 x "Ay Vauzelle Terme" 2013 (in cases) :

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2024 (August 2023): 96/100. "The Champ Caïn parcel is marked by its crystalline side, a finely brioche nose, and the reverberation of the chalk terroir that gives it beautiful energy. The delicate bubble stretches the palate."

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2024 (August 2023): Favorite and 98/100. "A great emotion grips us in front of Vauzelle Terme, certainly the most accomplished we have tasted. The pinot noir from Aÿ combines the controlled power of the vintage with the class and finesse that this terroir can reveal. It unveils a finely stained robe with a ruby reflection and a nose of Morello cherry and rosewood. The palate takes us to a pronounced blanc de noirs, with remarkable length. It is one of the finest champagnes of 2013!"

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

About the 2013 vintage: 2013, the winter is very cold and snowy, the spring and early summer remain cold and humid, causing coulure and millerandage and delaying flowering and maturity. August and September are warmer and drier allowing for a late but beautiful harvest.
