Enjoyed this last night at The Glue Pot in Reims, which has a lovely list of grower Champagnes and craft beers. This was 94 Euros on the list. It’s really tight and youthful, and could probably do with quite a bit of time to show its best. But it’s superb.
Champagne Agrapart Avizoise Extra Brut Grand Cru 2008 France
5 g/l dosage. Base wines aged in oak, wild ferment. Very taut, fresh and linear with amazing precision. Notes of citrus pith and lemon with a bit of grip. This is so primary still with lots of potential for development. Incredible focus and concentration of flavour. 93/100
