CHAMPAGNE AGRAPART
Mineral Extra-Brut, 2011
Champagne Agrapart led by Pascal Agrapart extends over 10 ha in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, in its commune of Avize and around Cramant and Oiry. This Blanc de Blanc is light golden in colour with a perfect mousse and a nose of citrus and orchard fruit. The palate has a fresh acidity, a chalky minerality, and notes of apple, marmalade, apricot and lemon peel on the lingering finish. Delicious with truffles omelette, sushis and sushimis, or creamy veal escalop.
CHAMPAGNE DRAPPIER
Nature sans soufre, NV
Champagne Drappier Nature sans soufre (without sulphur) made from 100% Pinot Noir, has a very fresh nose, evoking pear, lemon and hazelnuts. In the mouth, a very dry and mineral Champagne that overflows with notes of green apple, roasted hazelnuts, brioche and orange blossom, with elegant bubbles and a fine, persistent finish. Wonderful with caviar, oysters, berry pavlova
CHAMPAGNE EGLY-OURIET
Brut Rosé Grand Cru, NV
An elegant and vibrant Champagne almost rose gold in appearance with a fine bead. The nose bursts with aromas of strawberry, brioche, spicy vanilla and nutmeg. The palate is abundant in notes of strawberries, strawberry leaves, oranges and lemons with a grippy acidity on the finish. Pair beautifully with canapes, raspberry tart.
