NV Agrapart Champagne Extra Brut Complantee Grand Cru

Vinous 94 – “The NV Extra Brut Complantée Grand Cru is a field blend of Pinot Noir, Meunier, Pinot Blanc, Arbane, Petit Meslier and Chardonnay from a tiny 0.2 hectare parcel in Avize. The interplay of varieties, makes for a Champagne of uncommon complexity and character. Bright and perfumed, with tons of aromatic presence, the Complantée is super-expressive right out of the gate. This ethereal, wonderfully nuanced Champagne hits all the right notes. I very much admire the balance and precision in this year’s edition, which is a blend of equal parts 2019 and 2018.”
