Pascal Agrapart Les 7 Crus Extra Brut Champagne [2023] Domaine du Pelican 75ha of 40+ year-old vinesA superb non vintage bottling that beautifully synthesizes the pure and opulent fruit of top quality chardonnay vineyards in the Cte de Blancs with a racy, structured minerality that gives the wine superb length and cut. It is delicious out of the blocks, but really will easily keep ten to fifteen years.
