Champagne MINERAL 2009 Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru - Extra Brut "Old Vintages" Agrapart

Champagne MINERAL 2009 Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut “Vieux Millésimes” Agrapart

The Champagne MINERAL 2009 Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru by Agrapart is a cuvée of great personality, made from 100% Chardonnay selected from the best parcels of Avize and Cramant. It is a Champagne designed for those seeking precision, depth, and an authentic interpretation of the territory, with an Extra Brut style that enhances tension, finesse, and a mineral imprint.

Territory and wine style

This wine originates in the Côte des Blancs, in areas historically suited to Chardonnay, where the very chalky soils help to enhance elegance, momentum, and mineral sensations. The source parcels, between Les Champboutons and Les Bionnes, belong to Grand Cru villages and give rise to a Blanc de Blancs of strong identity. The 2009 harvest and the use of grapes from mature vines, with an average age of about 40 years, provide balance and intensity to a tailor-made Champagne.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it expresses itself with a clear and refined profile, characterized by a pronounced chalky imprint and an aromatic weave centered on the purity of Chardonnay. The long aging on the lees imparts complexity, depth, and a creamy sensation, while the contained dosage keeps the sip tense, dry, and very precise. The complete malolactic fermentation softens the whole without removing energy, offering a persistent, fresh, and savory finish, with great elegance and gustatory progression.

Recommended pairings

The Champagne MINERAL 2009 Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru is ideal with raw seafood, oysters, ceviche, fish tartare, and shellfish, but it also pairs very well with refined dishes based on steamed fish, delicate white meats, and preparations with mushrooms or not overly aged soft cheeses. Its structure and freshness make it suitable for more meditative tasting moments as well.

Serving temperature

Serve the Champagne MINERAL 2009 Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru between 8 and 10 °C, in order to preserve its tension, finesse, and aromatic complexity. If possible, opening it a few minutes before serving can help express its evolution in the glass, without the need for decantation.
