Champagne Valentin Leflaive Avize Grand Cru Extra Brut 2018 is one of the most representative cuvées of Maison Valentin Leflaive, a project that combines Burgundian tradition and profound knowledge of the Champenois terroir. This champagne is made exclusively from Grand Cru Chardonnay from Avize, aiming to transparently express the identity of one of Champagne's most prestigious villages. The vineyards are located on outcropping chalk soils, providing mineral tension and great aging potential. The harvest is done by hand, selecting only the finest musts. The wine then ferments in stainless steel and ages on lees for over four years, developing complexity and finesse without losing freshness. On the nose, it presents aromas of lemon, grapefruit, and white flowers, with a characteristic chalky expression. On the palate, it is elegant, saline, and has a long, mineral finish. Ideal for pairing with oysters, caviar, and high-quality seafood.
