Agrapart Avize Atypiqua Grand Cru 2020 1.5 kg

Agrapart Atypiqua 2020 is an experimental cuvee from the Agrapart estate. The name Atypiqua comes from the French atypique, “atypical”, and reflects the desire to move beyond the traditional style of Champagne. The champagne is produced exclusively from 100% Chardonnay from Grand Cru vineyards. The main particularity of the cuvee is that it is made exclusively from the second pressing fraction (taille), the part of the must that is extremely rarely used for the production of prestige champagnes. The grapes are vinified separately in old 228-litre oak barrels and aged on the lees for 60-72 months. Atypiqua is Agrapart's first conceptual champagne built entirely on the use of taille alone. The producer deliberately chose the fraction of must that most champagne houses use only in limited volume, in order to show that, when working with Grand Cru level grapes in Avize and with extremely gentle vinification, it is capable of creating a champagne of outstanding depth and individuality.
