The 1996 Jacquesson 'Avize' Grand Cru is a sensational effort and showing remarkable well after over two decades in bottle. It displays an impressive golden-brown hue, and demonstrates excellent range with a lovely nutty and earthy character, gently woven into the nutmeg infused baked apple and Challah bread aromatics that all come together to dazzle in the glass. The mouthfeel is soft upon the and elegant with wonderful tertiary nuances of salted macadamia nut, and damp earth notes that mingle with unripe green apple, and citrus rind accents. Simply outstanding today, this beautiful Champagne should continue to evolve gracegully for at least another decade.
