Description
What kind of wine is it
Pascal Agrapart Champagne Grand Cru Extra Brut Complantee is a wine that expresses the utmost finesse of its terroir. Produced using the Traditional Method, it is created from a blend of Arbane, Chardonnay, Petit Meslier, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. In the glass, it stands out for its fine perlage, enriched by floral aromas and delicate hints of bread crust. The sip, fresh and well-structured, faithfully reflects the Extra Brut dosage, giving the Champagne Grand Cru a refined balance.
Where does it come from
Originating from France, this wine embodies the deep vocation of the Côte des Blancs. The grapes ripen in the communes of Avize, Oger, Cramant and Oiry, where the chalky soil imparts natural freshness and marked elegance. Agrapart cultivates vines with an average age of around thirty-five years, following a organic and sustainable approach. This careful management of the plots allows the authentic identity of the region of origin to be naturally enhanced.
How is it produced
Following the creation of the blend, the bottle fermentation, characteristic of the Traditional Method, develops a fine and elegant effervescence. Visually, it displays a straw yellow colour, revealing remarkable freshness and a solid structure on the palate. Served at a temperature of 6-8 °C, this white ensures great gastronomic versatility. It pairs beautifully with cheeses and enhances refined fish starters, bringing out the flavours of dishes based on sushi, sashimi and shellfish with its savouriness.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 1894 in the renowned terroir of the Côte des Blancs, the Agrapart winery cultivates its historic vineyards using organic methods to create this exceptional Champagne AOC Grand Cru. The cuvée masterfully combines six grape varieties grown on chalky soils, offering a wonderfully fresh and structured sip. Enhanced by a fine perlage and fragrant floral aromas intertwined with hints of bread crust, this refined Extra Brut guarantees an unforgettable tasting experience, celebrated and awarded by the finest international critics.
