AGRAPART Minéral 2016 Bionnes - Champ Bouton Blanc de Blancs Champagne Grand Cru Avize Extra Brut 75cl White

Champagne Extra Brut – Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru

Sourced from carefully selected Grand Cru parcels—Bionnes in Cramant and Champ Bouton in Avize—this cuvée is always vintage-dated, highlighting the unique character of each harvest. These parcels share an identical geological profile, with a thin layer of topsoil resting directly on chalk, enhancing the wine’s tension and precision.

Aged extensively on lees to develop structure and depth, Minéral is disgorged just two months before release, with a low dosage of 3 grams of sugar per litre, preserving its purity and crystalline expression.

Tasting Notes: Precise, sapid, and saline, Minéral encapsulates the chalky essence of its terroir, delivering a taut, vibrant, and highly refined Blanc de Blancs. A Champagne of remarkable purity and energy, perfect for those who appreciate terroir-driven wines with tension and elegance.

Champagne Agrapart – A Legendary Winemaker in the Côte des Blancs!
Pascal Agrapart is one of the most revered winemakers in Champagne. Based in Avize, at the heart of the Côte des Blancs, he crafts cuvées of exceptional purity that captivate top sommeliers and discerning wine lovers around the world.

As a Propriétaire-Récoltant-Manipulant, Pascal and his son Ambroise Agrapart cultivate their own grapes exclusively across 12 hectares, primarily classified as Grand Cru. Here, there are no purchased grapes—each cuvée is a pure reflection of its terroir. The vineyards are tended with a natural and low-intervention approach, including soil ploughing, homemade compost, and absolutely no synthetic herbicides or pesticides.

In the cellar, this commitment to authenticity continues: fermentation with indigenous yeasts, ageing in oak barrels or tanks, no fining or filtration. Each cuvée is vinified with meticulous precision and minimal dosage, allowing the vibrant minerality of the Côte des Blancs’ chalky soils to shine through. All riddling is still done by hand, preserving time-honoured craftsmanship.

Agrapart Champagnes have become true icons among fine wine lovers. An essential name for those passionate about terroir-driven, vibrant, and characterful Champagne.
