Champagne Assailly
Les Avisés, Avize, Champagne, France
The Grand Cru Champagne which exudes refinement and elegance.
Champagne Assailly plants principally in Chardonnay and is renowned for producing Champagne that displays both wonderful freshness and aromas.
Assailly was founded in 1899 and is one of the prestigious flagship producers of the Côte des Blancs. For more than 100 years Champagne Assailly has played its part in elevating the high reputation of the Champagne region. The vineyards are rich in limestone and chalky soils with an ideal southern exposure. Winemakers and brothers Vincent and Pascal Assailly ensure the sustainability of their operation by respecting the values and traditions oftheir ancestors. Cleverly marrying modern techniques with traditional methods, they vinify blends from different years to make unique wines with exemplary body, roundness and character.
Perfectionists, the two brothers’ top priority is to produce a Champagne of irreproachable quality. This focus of the House is reflected with very small quantities produced.
