Badly corked. As a matter of fact, of all the 500+ Champagne bottles I have tasted in the past 3 years, this was the first "fully" corked one. All the others had light cork taint only. Shows how much rarer cork taint is in Champagne than still wine.

Agrapart's 2011 really turned out well. I served this to a group in Tuscany and it was really popular at the table. Not as dense and fruity as the stellar 2012 but not meager or green as the vintage suggests. This was a really nice and succulent BdB with good complexity and freshness.

Short note. Really liked the style here and frankly the 2011 vintage is good if this is a 2011 example. More vinous than traditional champagne. This can be for the more expert palates, as usual champagne drinker may prefer the big house styles
