NV Pascal Agrapart "Terroirs" Blanc de Blanc Grand Cru

This Blanc de Blancs is an estate‐grown Grand Cru Champagne produced exclusively from Chardonnay cultivated in the villages of Avize, Oger, Cramant, and Oiry. The cuvée is crafted in a grower–producer style—with Organic certification where applicable—and may be assembled from two consecutive vintages. In some bottlings, the older vintage is aged in neutral oak barrels for one year prior to blending. All versions are aged on the lees in bottle for at least four years, and certain expressions are styled as Extra Brut with a dosage limited to 5 grams per liter and a brief pre‐release disgorgement period.
