Averys Special Cuvee Brut represents a grand tradition of the historic Bristol wine merchant, which has been sourcing and bottling exceptional wines since 1793. In the 19th and 20th centuries, British merchants like Averys played a pivotal role in shaping the style of Champagne, championing drier, more robust blends that suited the 'English Taste.' This Special Cuvee is crafted in collaboration with esteemed Champagne houses, drawing from premier and grand cru vineyards across the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs. The wine undergoes traditional secondary fermentation in the bottle and extended lees aging, resulting in a sophisticated sparkling wine that balances bright citrus and green apple notes with rich, toasted brioche complexity, paying homage to over two centuries of merchant connoisseurship.
