Agrapart Reload - 2019 Grand Cru BdB Minéral

Champagne Pascal Agrapart, Avize - Côte de Blancs

We recently secured another parcel of 2019 Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Minéral, among their latest releases that Antonio Galloni calls, "One of the most exciting collections I have ever tasted from Agrapart."

The estate previously known as Agrapart & Fils was established in 1894 by Aurthur Agrapart, and is now run by Pascal Agrapart and his son Ambroise.  Their approach is non-interventionist: horse ploughed vineyards, organic farming, riddling by hand, and never fined nor filtered.  Their precise work with old vine chardonnay on chalky terroir leads to the production of amazingly fine, on point champagne.

2019 Pascal Agrapart Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Minéral
- 96 VN, 97 JS, 95+ WA, 96 RV
Always a vintage champagne, this cuvee comes from 40+ year old vineyard blocks (Champ bouton in Avize and Bionnes in Cramant) with the same geological profile - a thin layer of soil barely covering the chalk.

"The 2019 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Minéral Grand Cru is fabulous. All it needs is time to unwind. Readers should be in no rush. Bright and packed with energy, the 2019 is so classy right out of the gate. Vibrant and intensely mineral, the 2019 is very closed in on itself. That won't be a problem in a few years' time, but for now, the Minéral is a wine for the cellar. Extended saline-inflected notes punctuate the sculpted finish, adding to the wine's alluring personality. Minéral, a blend of old-vine sites in Avize and Cramant, is slow to emerge, but it's a Champagne that rewards cellaring. Dosage is 2 grams per liter. Disgorged: June 2025; multiple disgorgements throughout the year."
- Antonio Galloni

"A minerally Champagne with aromas of chalk, citrus, lemon pith, oyster shells, iodine and linden tree. Vertical on the palate, with floral flavors and a fine mousse. Very intense and persistent, with a medium body and long, zesty, lingering mineral acidity." - Aldo Fiordelli, jamessuckling.com

"Disgorged in October 2025 with a dosage of two grams per liter, the 2019 Blanc de Blancs Minéral has turned out beautifully, unfurling from the glass with notes of orange peel, yellow apple, peach, and mirabelle plum. It is full-bodied, concentrated and muscular, with a layered, ample and textural palate that exhibits a rich core of fruit and ripe yet racy acidity. Charming in profile, this is one of the more generously structured renditions of the cuvée on record, attaining some 13.5% alcohol after the second fermentation." - Kristaps Karklins, Wine Advocate

"Possessing both beautiful maturity and depth, the wine is sun-drenched yet loses none of its tension. The nose is profound, revealing notes of yellow fruits alongside lovely complexity; the wine itself is vibrant, displaying impressive potential and concentration. It is a superb expression—the most "vinous" of chardonnays—backed by remarkable concentration and a beautiful, taut tension." - La Revue du Vin de France
