Champagne's culture clash lets the little guys sparkle - Page 4 - SFGate
2004 Agrapart & Fils Mineral Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut Champagne ($65, 12% alcohol): While this Avize house's nonvintage efforts seem to be getting sweeter, here's where it shows the austere, long-lived potential of Chardonnay grown on limestone. Like Chablis with bubbles, it's got bracing seashell and lemon pith aromas, with richer accents of macadamia nut and Vietnamese coffee that give extra richness. Keep an eye out for the new labels.
