Strong and soft spoken, Pascal Agrapart has been working like this since 1984, well before todayโ€™s grower Champagne boom. Peter Liem compares his reputation for outstanding Cรดtes des Blancs wines to that of Anselme Selosse. Farming is intended to sync with natural cycles, and only indigenous yeast is used, capitalizing again on each plotโ€™s unique terroir.

The house is based in Avize, in the Cรดtes des Blancs, and unsurprisingly focuses on Chardonnay. Agrapart creates terroir-driven and focused wines of great minerality and complexity, from plots chosen specifically for each cuvรฉe. The farming is intuitive and meticulous; the work in the cellar is equally painstaking.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

"The 2018 Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Lโ€™Avizoise Grand Cru is sourced from 50+ year-old vines in the Robarts and Gros Yeux lieux-dits. A Champagne of total precision, the Avizoise sizzles with energy and class. My impression is that it is still recovering from both its disgorgement a few months ago and the decision to bottle this with no dosage. There's gorgeous Cรดtes des Blancs tension and energy. Citrus, floral and light tropical notes build while time in the glass brings out the wine's breadth." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 95
"Aged entirely in 600-liter barrels and, for the first time in the history of this cuvรฉe, released without dosage, the 2018 Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Avizoise is nevertheless the most demonstrative vintage wine in Agrapartโ€™s cellar. Crafted from two plots in Avize (Les Robarts and Les Gros Yeux), located just 30 meters from each other and defined by deep, clay-limestone soils, itโ€™s more giving and demonstrative compared to Minรฉral. Opening in the glass to reveal scents of walnut, pastries and ripe orchard fruit, it is full-bodied, ample and layered with excellent concentration, bright acidity and a long, sapid finish. Les Gros Yeux is one of the plots Agrapart farms with horse, to avoid soil compaction. With Ambroise now in charge of this historic domaine, style remains the same, but he undeniably refines the work." -Kristaps Karklins

"While the Minรฉral cuvรฉe hails from some of the shallowest, poorest soils in Avize, Avizoise always shows some of the roundness and aromatics of the deeper soils of the Gros Yeux and Robarts parcels. It shows a little more of the heat of the year in 2018, too, with fleshy nectarine, lime and white pepper, deep and long with citrus oil yet retaining a beguiling, papery-delicate texture that all of Agrapart's wines seem to find. For a vintage when blanc de blancs can be a little simplistic, this is full of nerve and detail." -Tom Hewson
