Cuvée Complantee by Agrapart is a journey that began recently, with the acquisition of two very small plots of 1000 square meters each, close to the lieu-dit La Fosse. This patch of land made up of old vines has the particularity of enclosing several varieties authorized for the production of Champagne in addition to the classics: Arbanne, Pinot Blanc and Petit Meslier. The vinification phase follows the now established Pascal techniques, vinification in wood with indigenous yeasts and resting on the same yeasts in the bottle
Opening a bottle of Agrapart with a non-recent disgorgement is always a journey that lingers in the memory. The basic matter is enhanced by a perlage that has now become a contour to the wine's character. The coffee notes are reminiscent of a creme brulée, but a vegetable part reminiscent of red turnip is surprising. The evolutions also give a touch of licorice and tobacco in the olfactory part. Definitely more pronounced in the mouth, with a link of dense roasting that makes one think of freshly toasted rice. A wonderful paella is the perfect pairing with this rare bottle.
Agrapart
In Avize, in the 19th century, Arthur Agrapart founded the Cantina Agrapart and his youngest son Piascal continued in the footsteps of the 1950-1960s.
After some initial attempts, Arthur gives Pierre his freedom who bases everything on the work in the vineyard and the winemaking. Pascal is a hard worker, a solid, deserving and concrete man. His wines have a particular style following the work done in the vineyard: a perfect balance between tension and minerality
Today, the Agrapart vineyard covers 12 hectares in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. The activity is distinguished by the meticulous attention in every phase of processing, from the vineyard to the cellar, checking at all times the ripeness of the grapes and the wine.
The vineyard is mainly grown on Avize, Oger, Cramant and Oiry Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs, in the heart of Champagne. The calcareous soil, typical of the Côte des Blancs, allows to work Chardonnay, the grape that best gives freshness to the wine, elegance and finesse.
Each harvest is different from year to year, this is the only way to identify the wines of terroir in the best way, as Agrapart says in three words "We fight for the truth of the soil". The fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts of the grapes and the aging is on the yeasts in oak barrels. Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru meets the best Chardonnays found on the Grand Cru terroir.
