Disgorged June 2025. Avizoise is sourced from old vines of around 50- to 60-year-old, situated in the clay-rich (argilo-calcaire) Coteaux d’Avize vineyards of Les Robarts and Les Gros Yeux. Both sites are now listed on the wine’s front label. The richer soils and altitude of these neighbouring sites bring more texture and roundness, says Pascal. The wine aged entirely in 600-litre demi-muids, and fermented in bottle under cork rather than crown seal. The 2019 spent just over five years on lees, and this year was bottled without dosage. It’s gloriously potent, glittering with makrut lime, lemongrass and Vietnamese mint flavours all clenched within its oeuvre of citrine purity and stony classicism.
