Single vineyard. Chalky, mineral driven, incredibly complex Champagne.

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

"The 2018 Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Vรฉnus Grand Cru, from a tiny parcel in Avize, is an incredibly intriguing Champagne. The aromatics alone are mesmerizing. Wildflowers, mint, tangerine peel, sage and mint all dance across the palate. Tangerine peel, jasmine, white truffle and spice lend an exotic dimension of complexity. No dosage." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

"Disgorged in August 2024 without dosage, the 2018 Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Vรฉnus, as always, derives from La Fosse aux Pourceaux, a 0.6-hectare plot of land in Avize planted in 1959, which is farmed solely by man and horse, without the use of heavy mechanical equipment. With texture defined by the maturation in old 600-liter oak barrels, Vรฉnus is more discreet than the broad shouldered Avizoise but more demonstrative than the crystalline Minรฉral, despite the short distance between La Fosse aux Pourceaux and Le Champ Bouton that defines Minรฉral. Unfurling from the glass with aromas of honeysuckle, pear, fresh hazelnut and iodine, it is a harmonious wine with an intensely chalky profile, laden with bright acids. More elegant than its 2017 rendition, Agrapartโ€™s desire to capture freshness and precision is very well realized in this edition." -Kristaps Karklins
