Tasting notes
Champ Caïn reveals a chiseled nose of candied lemon, wet stone and white flowers, carried by a straight, vertical and saline palate, where the Chardonnay expresses a crystalline touch and a long, almost chalky finish.
Vauzelle Terme opens with notes of small red fruits, stone fruit, delicate spices, and light cocoa; the palate, fuller, develops a deep and structured texture typical of great Pinot Noirs from Aÿ, with a persistent and subtly smoky finish. Together, these two wines offer an impeccable expression of the terroir's identity and Jacquesson's mastery.

Aÿ Vauzelle Terme, for its part, is a small, historic Pinot Noir plot planted on warm clay soils mixed with chalk, producing structured, deep, and uniquely spicy wines. These two terroirs are among the most renowned in their respective villages.
The team's opinion
Two mythical terroirs magnified by Jacquesson, where the purity of Avize meets the depth of Aÿ in a blend of rare precision.
