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 spans 10 hectares of Grand Crus, primarily planted with Chardonnay, the emblematic grape variety of the Côte des Blancs. For several generations, our family has been committed to environmentally friendly viticulture. Our soils are worked by manual plowing and enriched annually with a natural compost made from local ingredients. This organic approach allows our vines to thrive, expressing the richness and diversity of their terroir. Our Champagnes, renowned for their authenticity, are neither fined nor filtered, and every step of the winemaking process is carried out on the estate, from harvest to manual riddling.

The Champagne Extra-Brut Grand Cru "Minéral" 2017 is an exceptional vintage, always vintage-dated and sourced from carefully selected plots in the communes of Avize and Cramant. These terroirs share the same geology with thin soils lying 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 stands out for its precision, saporousness, and salinity. The disgorgement, carried out only two months before sale, and the limited dosage of 3 grams of sugar per liter make it a wine of great purity. This cuvée is available in bottle and magnum, offering 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: Direct attack with great liveliness. Chalky and saline texture reflecting its terroir. Long and mineral finish, with a saline touch.

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