The 2015 Extra Brut Les Chemins d'Avize Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru is a broad, ample Champagne that reflects both vinification in wood and time on the lees. Lemon confit, marzipan, dried flowers, chamomile, sage and spice build in the glass. Powerful and resonant, with no hard edges, the 2015 is terrific. It's also a throwback to the style of the time, and one I must say I like a lot. This is a fine effort for the year. Dosage is 2 grams per liter. Disgorged: September 1, 2022. -- Antonio Galloni

From a very small parcel of 0.7 hectares in Avize, the 2015 Champagne Les Chemins D'Avize is slightly more straw-colored and takes on lush aromas in its spicier profile, with a touch more oak presence as well as a note of ripe orange zest. It brings more intensity to the palate as well, with full-bodied richness, a fluffy mousse, and a long, persistent, and savory finish. It takes on more concentration and richness, with salty mineral earth notes and lots of depth. An impressive wine, it will take time to blossom fully. Drink 2025-2045. 2 grams per liter dosage. - Audrey Frick

(94+ points) The 2015 Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Les Chemins d'Avize opens in the glass with aromas of citrus oil, verbena, fresh pasty, vanilla pod and fresh herbs. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and chalky, with a vinous, rather concentrated profile and bright acids, it's a little compact out of the gates but appears to be built to age with grace. - William Kelley
