Description
 
Agrapart is a serious grower owning ten hectares at Avize, Cramant, Oger and Oiry, producing storable wines vinified in oak barrels of varying sizes. The wines are sometimes a bit rustic, but rich in extracts and needing time to develop fully. As much as 60% goes on export. I fell especially for the Terroirs which is creamy and impressively intense with Cramant as its guiding star. Rounded, nutty and syrupy. With such a voluminous structure it ought to be designated as vintage. The pure weight of the 50+ year-old vines comes through in the 2006 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru L’Avizoise.

This 100% old vines Chardonnay is cultivated on the chalky soils of Avize and Cramant and fermented with indigenous yeasts in demi-muids; the intensely colored 2003 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Minéral displays some bread and flor flavors in the beginning, intermixed with and unglued from super ripe and intense, almost tropical (mango) fruit and lime aromas on the rich and complex, but still clear, precise, minerally-fresh and finally fascinatingly pure nose. Full-flavored, rich, round and expansive on the highly elegant and complex palate, this sparkling beauty reveals a stunning purity, finesse and freshness in its tension-filled and lingering mineral finish. This is an intriguingly rich purist and subtly complex Champagne for many opportunities (the wine itself is one!). My sample was bottled in May 2004 and disgorged with a dosage of five grams in April 2010, and drunk in one day in September 2015. The wine is in a perfect shape today. Wine Advocate 94
