Terroirs
LES CHEMINS D'AVIZE completes the range of singular champagnes (mono-cru). This approach began in 1988 with Vieille Vigne de Cramant, then completed in 1995 with Terre de Vertus and in 1999 with Rosé de Saignée.
Pierre and Sophie had long known that the Avize terroir deserved a unique cuvée. It was in 2009, thanks to the acquisition of a smaller press, that these 2 parcels were isolated. They are located in the heart of the village of Avize, in the "Chemin de Plivot" and "Chemin de Flavigny" districts. The soil here is very poor, with outcrops of chalk. The 60-year-old vines derive their delicate floral character and unique mineral density from this soil.

L'Accord Parfait
Between Champagne and its dish
Aperitif
Fresh oysters are an essential pairing. The minerality of champagne pairs perfectly with the salinity and umami of oysters, creating a vibrant, fresh tasting experience.
Dish
The freshness of the scallop tartare harmonizes perfectly with the liveliness of the champagne, enhancing the dish's aromas while preserving a sensation of freshness.
