Pascal and Fabrice Agrapart are masters of terroir. Agrapart’s are some of the most refined Chardonnays to be found in the Côte des Blancs. For all of their class and impeccable breeding, they also come across as undeniably honest expressions of terroir.
The Minéral is one of the most captivating wines of the line-up. It is sourced from two prime lieux-dits with 40-year-old vines that are on the hard, white chalk in Avize and Cramant.
The Côte des Blancs had the biggest success in 2010. The most diligent growers and producers turned out crystalline, energetic and sleekly mineral wines.
The 2010 Minéral has a laser-like focus, incredible elegance and exhilarating tension. The mineral expression is razor sharp and tactile.
TASTING NOTES:
The 2010 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Minéral Grand Cru is a powerful, tightly wound wine that may need some time to show at its best. Even so, the honey, candied apricot, chamomile, brioche and vanillin are all suggestive of a wine that is on a relatively fast aging curve. As always, the Minéral emerges from Les Champboutons (in Avize) and Les Bionnes (in Cramant) vineyards. Dosage is 5 grams per liter. Disgorged: March 2016.
