Champagne Grand Cru Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs "Cuvée Minéral" 2017 | Wine from Domaine Pascal Agrapart

Champagne Extra-Brut Grand Cru "Minéral" 2017 | Wine From Domaine Agrapart

The Domaine Agrapart covers 10 hectares of Grand Crus, mainly planted with Chardonnay, the emblematic grape variety of the Côte des Blancs. For several generations, our family has been committed to viticulture that respects nature. Our soils are worked by manual plowing and enriched each year by a natural compost made from local ingredients. This organic approach allows our vines to thrive, expressing the richness and diversity of their terroir. Agrapart Champagnes are recognized for their authenticity, they are neither fined nor filtered, and every step of the winemaking process is carried out at the estate, from harvest to manual riddling.

The Champagne Extra-Brut Grand Cru "Minéral" 2017 is an exceptional cuvée, always vintage and sourced from carefully selected plots in the communes of Avize and Cramant. These terroirs share the same geology with thin soils resting directly on chalk, offering a unique chalky dimension to this blanc de blancs. The name of this cuvée, "Minéral", perfectly reflects this direct influence of the terroir on the wine.

This champagne is distinguished by its precision, sapidity, and salinity. The disgorgement, done only two months before being put on sale, and the dosage limited to 3 grams of sugar per liter make it a wine of great purity. This cuvée is available in bottle and magnum, providing different options to enhance your tasting moments.

• Appearance: Bright pale yellow, with golden reflections and fine, persistent effervescence.
• Nose: Elegant aromas of fresh citrus, white fruits, and a delicate floral touch.
• Palate: Straightforward attack with beautiful liveliness. Chalky and saline texture that reflects its terroir. Long and mineral finish, with a saline touch.

The Champagne Extra-Brut "Minéral" 2017 pairs perfectly with seafood, particularly oysters, grilled fish, or carpaccio. It also wonderfully accompanies dishes based on fresh and crunchy vegetables, or a slightly matured soft cheese like Chaource.
