Pascal Agrapart Complantee Grand Cru Extra Brut NV

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

“This has a pretty nose of white flowers, daffodils, blanched almonds, lemons, white grapefruit and salted peanuts. Bright and full of personality with very fine bubbles. Open and vibrant. Made from a field blend of 6 varieties, co-fermented in barriques.” - 94 PTS, JAMES SUCKLING (07/2022)

“The NV Extra Brut Complantée Grand Cru soars out of the glass with striking aromatics. Bright, sculpted and perfumed, the Complantée is wonderfully expressive. This blend of co-planted Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Blanc, Arbane, Petit Meslier and Chardonnay is so expressive. It is especially aromatic and ethereal in this release. The Complantée was fermented with native yeasts in used 600-liter tonneaux. Doasage is 5 grams per liter.” - 94 PTS, ANTONIO GALLONI, VINOUS MEDIA (11/2023)

“A blend of the sunny 2020 and 2019 vintages, the latest rendition of Agrapart's NV Extra Brut Grand Cru Complantée is especially successful. Offering up aromas of white flowers, orange oil, confit citrus and buttery pastry, this field blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Blanc, Arbane and Petit Meslier planted in 2003 can sometimes be almost assertively incisive, but this tirage is medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with racy but fully integrated acids and a suave, fine-boned profile.” - 93 PTS, WINE ADVOCATE (12/2023)

HOUSE NOTES:

ABOUT US: “Owner Grower-Producer (no purchase of grapes) in the Côte des Blancs in AVIZE. Our 12-hectare vineyard is mainly located in Grand Cru vineyards planted with Chardonnay grapes. White grapes harvested and pressed by us. Our winemaking approach is natural. The soils of our vineyard have always been maintained by tilling, and each year we apply compost made from local ingredients to the vines. The biological activity of the soil generates health and productivity in the vineyard. Our Champagne wines are neither fined nor filtered. Bottling takes place at the estate and riddling is done by hand."
