Agrapart Mineral Blanc de Blancs 2012
Champagne Agrapart is a critically well-regarded and sought-after Champagne producer based in Avizé, in Champagne's Côte des Blancs subregion, just south of Épernay. This is one of the finest grower champagnes available and their wines are some of the greatest cuvées of the Côte des Blancs, with the power and lineage of a good white Burgundy.
Review
"The 2012 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Minéral is superb. Powerful and ample in the glass, the Minéral is both broad on the palate and also somehow incredibly refined in feel, an appealing combination to be sure. There is so much to admire in the 2012, including its exceptional sense of total harmony. Dried flowers, almond, mint and dried apricot are all nicely layered in the glass, but again, it is the wine's poise that is truly mesmerising." - 95pts - Vinous
