Avize Grande Réserve Vve Emile Oudinot 1966
The Avize Grande Réserve Vve Emile Oudinot 1966 is a vintage Brut sparkling wine from the renowned Champagne region in northern France. Produced by Vve Emile Oudinot, this 1966 release is classified as a Grande Réserve.
The wine originates from Avize, a historic Grand Cru village situated in the heart of the Côte des Blancs subregion. This prestigious Grand Cru status is shared with only a small number of villages in Champagne, highlighting the area's significance for quality grape production. The vineyards in Avize are located on south- and southeast-facing slopes, ensuring optimal sun exposure. The local terroir is defined by its cool, porous, and chalky subsoil dating back to the Campanian geological period, which acts as a natural water reservoir for the vines.
Champagne's traditional winemaking methods, refined in the 17th century by Benedictine monks such as Dom Pérignon, involve secondary fermentation in the bottle. While the broader Champagne region utilizes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, the village of Avize is almost exclusively planted with Chardonnay. The grape thrives in the chalky soil, making the village particularly famous for supplying grapes for Blanc de Blancs champagnes. Today, Avize remains a central hub for viticulture, home to renowned champagne houses, independent growers, and the local wine school, Avize Viti Campus.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Champagne
Champagne in northern France gave its name to the world's most famous sparkling wine. As early as the 17th century, Benedictine monks such as Dom Pérignon refined the area's winemaking. Today the wine is made by bottle fermentation from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The cool, chalky subsoil gives high acidity and finesse, which form the foundation of champagne's elegance and long ageing.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
