Agrapart et Fils, Champagne Experience 17 Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature Grand Cru, NV

The Agrapart & Fils ‘Expérience 17’ Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut Nature NV is a stunning expression of 100% Chardonnay from the Grand Cru village of Avize in the Côte des Blancs. Crafted by Pascal Agrapart, a vigneron celebrated for his dedication to biodynamic principles and terroir-driven winemaking, this cuvée highlights the purity and minerality of the estate’s chalky soils. The ‘Expérience 17’ designation signifies that the base wine is from the 2017 vintage. Fermented and aged in oak barrels, the wine is bottled without dosage, resulting in a Brut Nature style that emphasizes its natural vibrancy and precision. On the nose, this Champagne offers an enticing bouquet of stone fruits, white flowers, and fresh hazelnuts, accented by subtle notes of chalk and citrus zest. The palate is medium to full-bodied and finely textured, with a vibrant acidity and a mineral-driven core. A long, saline finish underscores its elegance and connection to the Avize terroir.
