NV Agrapart Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Terroirs Grand Cru


Sourced from Grand Cru parcels in Avize, Oger, Cramant and Oiry. I didn't record the disgorgement date from the label, but it was likely 2018 or 2019. Dosage is usually in the 5g/l range, but I could swear it was lower. There is a beautiful balance to this wine.

A "wow" impression right off the bat... Entrancing florals with hints of fresh biscuit on the nose. Gives way to a palate of citrus with a very tasty vein of salinity... there is a riveting tension to the framework that makes it hard to put the glass down. Opening up over the course of the evening, I thought I was drinking a nice Chablis.

Grand Cru quality at a ridiculously reasonable price...
