Agrapart's are some of the most refined Chardonnays to be found in the Côte des Blancs.
Pascal and Fabrice Agrapart are obvious masters of the terroir.
Their skill might be on the boldest display with the Minéral. It is one of the most riveting expressions of Chardonnay to be found. Minéral is an absolutely terroir-saturated Champagne.
The wine's kinetic energy and finesse help to make it one of our favorite grower Champagnes.
In any vintage, it's a bottle that more than lives up to its name. It is sourced from two prime lieux-dits with 40-year-old vines grown on the hard, white chalk in Avize and Cramant.
The 2018 Minéral is a special vintage for the wine. This is a champagne vintage that we love. There's such vividness and completeness to many of the 2018s. That's certainly the case for the 2018 Minéral. It has its signature laser-like focus and tension-filled, tactile grip. The 2018 boasts unusual elegance and depth. It's really thrilling.
Few producers hit this level of precision and elegance. The 2018 Minéral stands as a monument to their skill.
