Vintage Character Champagne Pajon-Selosse Avize Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 2017 is a grower Champagne from the Grand Cru village of Avize in the Côte des Blancs, made from Chardonnay. The 2017 vintage in Champagne was shaped by an early season marked by frost pressure and a warm summer, yielding wines with ripe fruit, lively freshness, and a style that often shows charm early while retaining mineral definition. Avize is one of the region’s great Chardonnay terroirs, prized for its deep chalk soils that give Blanc de Blancs both fine-boned precision and the salty, chalk-dust tension that sets top Côte des Blancs Champagne apart.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, this Brut opens with lemon zest, green apple, white peach, and white flowers, followed by notes of brioche, almond, and wet limestone. The palate is energetic and refined, with a tight bead, bright acidity, and a creamy yet linear texture that carries citrus, orchard fruit, and pastry nuances into a long, chalky finish. Its balance of tension and subtle richness makes it especially appealing at the table with oysters, sole meunière, or sushi.
Winery Background Champagne Pajon-Selosse is a small récoltant-manipulant estate based in Avize, where the focus is firmly on translating site into wine rather than producing a house style polished by scale. The domaine is associated with Jérôme Pajon and is known for attentive, sustainable vineyard work and a restrained, low-intervention philosophy that lets Grand Cru Chardonnay speak clearly. Hand-harvested fruit, traditional bottle fermentation, and patient lees ageing underpin a style that values purity, texture, and terroir transparency, making this a compelling artisan expression of Avize.
