A very nice wine with loads of citrus, citrus peel, minerality and at the same time good depth of flavors and great structure. The wine has 3 g/l dosage, was bottled in May 2016 and disgorged in Jan 2022
Drank in Lehmann Jamesse and Zalto. The Lehmann was much more open on the nose, the Zalto had a finer stream of bubbles, and the Lehmann had a broader flavor profile. As to the pizza it was made on the grill, thin crust, lots of fresh basil from the garden, nice fresh mozzarella, light and a perfect foil for the Agrapart
Fried chicken may be better but a good thin crust pizza works very well!!

Pizza & Champagne are an underrated pairing. Sounds delish!

I enjoyed this wine a lot when i had it 6 month’s ago. But at 100 plus its hard to justify
I love Agrapart but have to say your pizza is the clear winner here 
just had a sliced potato pizza last night that was awesome with champagne.
Also had mushroom/garlic/feta, vodka sauce, pepperoni, margarita. One of the more fair pizza places price was I tried for the first time. $16 for a small 12" is somewhat of a good deal here.
Why is that? The price is too much in general or it is not a good buy compared to other Champagne that price? If the latter, who would you prefer for the same price? Disclosure: Agrapart Mineral is one of my favorite Champagne.
Delicious! I’ve got one of these that I’ve sort of forgotten about - do you think it’s got more runway to develop or would you catch it over the next year or two?
That is a very personal question. I prefer most of my champagne a bit earlier than late. This bottle of Mineral was drinking wonderfully, but probably has many good years to go.
Great question. I’ve had champagnes at less than 100 that are almost as good, as good, or better than the Agrapart mineral. Examples: Marie Courtin Eff, Vilmart NV and Grand Cellier
I apologize for the thread drift, but I’ve been holding onto 2 bottles of the 2012 Agrapart Avizoise that I got for a song from JJBuckley maybe 5 years ago. Worth trying one (for science)?
As long as we are drifting…
Opinions requested on getting Champagne specific stemware? We are pretty happy with the Gabriel Gold for most wines and break out the Zalto Burgundy glasses for Pinot Noir (of course) and Nebbiolo, but have been using the Gabriels for Champagne and I an not really happy with them.
Thanks in advance
