🏰 The 2015 Agrapart Avizoise Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Grand Cru stands out for its breadth and power, a testament to the artistry of Champagne production and the finesse of Chardonnay from the village of Avize. Agrapart is a renowned grower Champagne house, celebrated for its terroir-driven and focused wines of great minerality and complexity, with a strong emphasis on Chardonnay from Grand Cru vineyards in Avize. The 2015 vintage is noted for slight vegetal characteristics, typical of some wines from that year, and a texturally lighter profile, suggesting it may not be ideal for extensive aging. This exquisite Champagne presents a luminous golden hue with a persistent stream of fine bubbles. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of crisp green apple, delicate white flower, enticing citrus zest, hints of warm brioche, and subtle minerality. The palate is captivating with remarkable balance and structure, vibrant acidity, notes of pear and lemon curd mingling with toasted almond and a touch of sea breeze, culminating in a thrilling, elongated finish. Lemon peel, savory herbs, dried flowers, grapefruit, and mint also contribute to its aromatic presence. The Extra Brut dosage allows the pure expression of fruit and minerality to shine through. 【A powerful and precise Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs from a renowned grower Champagne house, showcasing the finesse of Avize Chardonnay.】 🍴 This exquisite Grower Champagne pairs beautifully with rich fish such as salmon and tuna, as well as mild and soft cheeses.
