Sensory profile

To the eye, Mineral 2019 reveals a pale yellow colour, fluid and luminous, supported by a fine, elegant effervescence. On the nose, aromas of citrus fruit (lemon, grapefruit), white flowers, damp chalk and sometimes a hint of smoke or deep minerality. With aeration, more subtle notes of green apple and green hazelnut may appear, underlining the aromatic complexity. On the palate, the attack is clean, straightforward and mineral. The chalky salinity gives structure to the wine, which has a crystalline, taut, fresh and saline texture. The finish is long, vertical and persistent.

Food & wine pairing

The tension, finesse and minerality of Agrapart 2019 make it particularly well-suited to seafood and fish dishes - oysters, shellfish, scallop carpaccios - as well as light, delicately-cooked dishes such as sole meunière, turbot, grilled fish and sashimi. Fresh or soft cheeses, as well as citrus or iodine-based dishes, can also provide interesting contrasts.

Storage and serving

Store lying down, away from light, in a cellar with a stable temperature and hygrometry. Recommended serving temperature: 10-12°C. Mineral 2019 has an estimated ageing potential of 10-15 years. Over time, the minerality will combine with more evolved notes of dried fruit, brioche, salted butter and warm stone, while retaining its freshness and clarity.

Why choose this champagne?

Minéral 2019 embodies Agrapart & Fils' artisanal, exacting approach and respect for the terroir. Based on old vines, deep chalky soil, natural vinification and long, unfiltered ageing, this cuvée reflects the pure expression of Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs. It's the perfect choice for those looking for a refined, mineral champagne from the terroir, with a beautiful straightforwardness and remarkable aromatic precision.
