Agrapart & Fils Terroirs Extra Brut Champagne

D&M TASTING NOTES:
(Grower Champagne; disgorged February 2023). More clean and focused with a rainwater and clean element to this grower in general and this bottle specifically. A super fine, elegant, yet powerful Champagne showcasing the terroirs of Avize, Oger, Cramant and Oiry. A poor mans’s Clos de Mesnil, perhaps?

HOUSE NOTES:

OVERVIEW: "Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne; A meeting of our Grand Cru wines. Two vintages blended for this cuvée, sourced from select parcels in Avize, Cramant, Oiry, and Oger, all planted with Chardonnay. Disgorged two months before release, with a dosage limited to 5 grams of sugar per liter."

ABOUT US: “Owner Grower-Producer (no purchase of grapes) in the Côte des Blancs in AVIZE. Our 12-hectare vineyard is mainly located in Grand Cru vineyards planted with Chardonnay grapes. White grapes harvested and pressed by us. Our winemaking approach is natural. The soils of our vineyard have always been maintained by tilling, and each year we apply compost made from local ingredients to the vines. The biological activity of the soil generates health and productivity in the vineyard. Our Champagne wines are neither fined nor filtered. Bottling takes place at the estate and riddling is done by hand."
