7 Crus Brut

The 7 Crus Brut is regarded as the most representative champagne from Domaine Agrapart in Avize. It brings together wines from seven villages and several vintages, part of it aged in oak barrels. The grapes: 90 per cent Chardonnay, 10 per cent Pinot Noir. It ages for three years, and the bottles are riddled by hand. A back label gives the bottling and disgorgement dates, so every bottle can be placed precisely.

In the glass it is fresh and fine, carried by the Chardonnay line. That makes it a very good aperitif and a companion to a seafood platter. Pour it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass, which supports freshness and aroma equally.
