Champagne Agrapart - Mineral Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 2014 Magnum

Wine Region: Champagne - France

Grape: Chardonnay (100%)

Tasting notes:

"The 2014 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Minéral is a powerful, intense Champagne that captures all of the natural power of these old vines in Avize and Cramant. Aptly named, the Minéral is infused with tremendous mineral and soil inflections that give a real feeling of gravitas. Crushed rocks, slate, chalk and citrus accents are some of the many nuances that emerge with a bit of time in the glass. This release is fabulous. It is also a reticent wine, though, so at least a year or two in bottle will help soften. Dosage is 3 grams per liter. Disgorged: April, 2020." Vinous

Expert Ratings: Vinous 94/100
