Cuvée Jour 2: Avize, Le Couchant from Maison Odyssée 319 continues to showcase the village-level "lieux dits" to the north of the village of Avize.
This cuvée is made from Chardonnay harvested in 2020 in the Grand Cru commune of Avize in the Côte des Blancs. A second face of the slightly undulating heart of the Avize terroir between Avize and Cramant.
2020 was a particularly late cycle, but the radiant summer provided maximum sunshine and low rainfall, ideal parameters for ripening Chardonnays. The autumn harvest produced elegant, fresh wines.
After bottling, the flasks benefit from a fairly long ageing period in the cellar, developing maturity and finesse. After disgorging, the Brut dosage is 7.5 g/L.
On the nose, this Cuvée Jour 2 : Avize, Le Couchant from Maison Odyssée 319 reveals rich, ripe fruit aromas, blending with fine bubbles to give the wine elegance and depth.
The palate expresses a lovely freshness, typical of the chalky regions of the Maison's terroirs, and gently melts into saline, suave notes.
