The territory is defined by a cool continental climate and a predominantly eastern exposure, which protects the vines from westerly winds. The distinctive element of the landscape lies in the deep \u003cstrong\u003echalky soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, capable of infusing the tasting with a clear and vibrant savoury texture. To preserve the vitality of this ecosystem, the winery strictly follows biodynamic principles, working the land with the help of \u003cstrong\u003ehorses\u003c\/strong\u003e to maintain a strong harmony between the vine and the surrounding nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with the rigorous selection of grapes grown according to artisanal methods on historic vineyards. Primary vinification takes place in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and tonneaux, exclusively utilising the action of indigenous yeasts and encouraging a completely natural malolactic fermentation. The wine then undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle using the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e, resting for an extended period on its lees. This phase builds a solid olfactory structure, enhanced by the choice to offer the wine as \u003cstrong\u003epas dosé\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensuring a faithful expression of the original grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis exquisite 2021 \u003cstrong\u003eGrand Cru Champagne\u003c\/strong\u003e embodies the pure essence of the renowned Avize terroir, celebrated for its chalky soils.
