2017 Agrapart "Minéral" Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne 6-Pack

A bright straw/yellow hue, the 2017 Champagne Grand Cru Blanc De Blancs Mineral Extra Brut is entirely Chardonnay and is initially forward in the glass with aromatic notes of yeasty, fresh bread dough, delicate toast, dark wet stones, yellow flowers, pineapple, and pear. Medium-bodied, it offers a lively mousse, with an expansive feel that takes on some warmth, and a lovely salty, mineral touch that adds a fantastic spice to the relatively broad structure of this cuvée in this warmer vintage. As it opens in the glass, it takes on a good deal of focus and shines with notes of lemon confit all the way through. The wine’s powerful backbone and structure suggest this can age slowly over the coming 10-15 years. Disgorged May 2023. (AF)
