Agrapart Complantée Grand Cru

Wineadvocate

Based on the 2018 vintage, the latest rendition of Agrapart's NV Extra Brut Grand Cru Complantée delivers aromas of pear, crisp red apple, Meyer lemon, bread dough and pastry. Medium to full-bodied, chalky and incisive, it's a taut, structured wine built around a racy spine of acidity. It's a blend of Champagne's six grape varieties, planted together. - WK 08/2022

Vinous

The NV Extra Brut Grand Cru Complantée emerges from a parcel in Avize interplanted with Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Blanc, Arbane, Petit Meslier and Chardonnay. Exotic and beguiling in the glass, the Complantée is absolutely gorgeous. Kirsch, red plum, rose petal and spice give the wine striking aromatic intensity and lovely inner perfume. The red grapes seem especially expressive in this release. The Complantée is not an obvious wine, rather it is a Champagne of translucent finesse. This release is a blend of equal parts 2017 and 2016, vinified in neutral oak. Dosage is 5 grams per liter. Disgorged: April, 2020. - AG 11/2020

Suckling

This is a gently flinty style with an array of very attractive, fresh peach, pear and melon aromas. The palate has a very smooth, fleshy and deliciously weighty feel with a wealth of rich, attractive fruit. A blend of two parcels of co-planted chardonnay, pinot noir, pinot meunier, arbanne, petit meslier and pinot blanc. Disgorged in May 2019.
