How to serve it
Tasting notes
Deep gold with a delicate, slow bead. The nose is complex and slightly oxidative: dried apple, candied lemon, curry leaf, hazelnut and warm bread. The palate is dense and almost still in feel, with low pressure, searching acidity and a powdery chalk texture. The finish is very long, dry and salty, echoing quince and toasted nuts.
About this wine
Expérience is Pascal Agrapart's test of how far Champagne can go without sulphur: a Blanc de Blancs from Grand Cru vines in Avize, vinified and aged with no added sulphites at any stage and bottled Brut Nature, with no dosage at all.
Fermentation and ageing take place in oak, and the wine spends several years on its lees before disgorgement. Made only in tiny quantities, it is a transparent, uncompromising reading of Avize chalk and old Chardonnay vines.
A rare bottle for drinkers who want Champagne stripped to its essentials.
