To this particles they add to the grapes of two Cramant Lieu dit, endowed with the same geological profile. The average age of the vines for this cuvée is 40 years
Champagne from poor limestone soils of the climats Les Champs Boutons Les Piquets Bois. This cuvée is the one that most represents the Agrapart style. Fruity nose of white flowers, with a touch of citrus. Mouth ripe, rich, vinous and round, with a nice bitterness and a hint of licorice finish. A true Champagne wine, balanced between tension and matter, which will certainly need more time to express itself more fully.
Agrapart
In Avize, in the 19th century, Arthur Agrapart founded the Cantina Agrapart and his youngest son Piascal continued in the footsteps of the 1950-1960s.
After some initial attempts, Arthur gives Pierre his freedom who bases everything on the work in the vineyard and the winemaking. Pascal is a hard worker, a solid, deserving and concrete man. His wines have a particular style following the work done in the vineyard: a perfect balance between tension and minerality
Today, the Agrapart vineyard covers 12 hectares in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. The activity is distinguished by the meticulous attention in every phase of processing, from the vineyard to the cellar, checking at all times the ripeness of the grapes and the wine.
The vineyard is mainly grown on Avize, Oger, Cramant and Oiry Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs, in the heart of Champagne. The calcareous soil, typical of the Côte des Blancs, allows to work Chardonnay, the grape that best gives freshness to the wine, elegance and finesse.
Each harvest is different from year to year, this is the only way to identify the wines of terroir in the best way, as Agrapart says in three words "We fight for the truth of the soil". The fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts of the grapes and the aging is on the yeasts in oak barrels. Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru meets the best Chardonnays found on the Grand Cru terroir.
