Champagne Agrapart - Mineral - White of Whites - Grand Cru 2018
Champagne Agrapart is a Harvester-Manipulant owner in the Côte des Blancs in Avize , Champagne . The estate was founded in the 19th century by Arthur Agrapart, then expanded by his grandson Pierre in the 1950s and 1960s. The 12-hectare vineyard is primarily planted with Grands Crus Chardonnay grapes. The grapes are harvested and pressed naturally. The vineyard soils have always been maintained by plowing, and each year in the vineyard, compost made from local ingredients is applied. The biological life of the soils generates health and productivity in the vineyard. The wines are neither fined nor filtered.
