Champagne

The village's vineyards are located in the Côte des Blancs subregion of Champagne, and are classified as grand cru (100%) in the Champagne vineyard classification.

Located in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, Avize is a village wine with many champagne houses. About 400 winegrowers harvest 3,350 tons of grapes annually. Its fermentation within the 12 km of the city cellars gave birth to the most prestigious wines of Champagne: blancs de blancs. Major champagne houses founded in Avize include De Cazanove (1811), Koch (1820), and Bricout (1966).
