Agrapart & Fils Champagne Avize Grand Cru Extra Brut Complantee ['20 Base] NV

$12999

Grower Champagne, before the hype. Long before the grower movement had a name, the Agrapart family was bottling wines from their own grapes in Avize, the heart of the Cote des Blancs, going back to the late 1800s. Pascal Agrapart farms organically, but he'll tell you it's not for the label or the marketing - it's just the best way to express terroir. The Complantee comes from co-planted Avize plots farmed to the historic Champenois field-blend tradition: Chardonnay alongside Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Blanc, Arbane, and Petit Meslier all interspersed in the same rows. The 2020 base, Extra Brut, with around 5 g/L dosage. Yields here rarely top 5,000 cases across the entire estate, and the Complantee is the rarest cuvee of the lineup.

"The NV Extra Brut Grand Cru Complantée emerges from a parcel in Avize interplanted with Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Blanc, Arbane, Petit Meslier and Chardonnay. Exotic and beguiling in the glass, the Complantée is absolutely gorgeous. Kirsch, red plum, rose petal and spice give the wine striking aromatic intensity and lovely inner perfume. The red grapes seem especially expressive in this release. The Complantée is not an obvious wine, rather it is a Champagne of translucent finesse. This release is a blend of equal parts 2017 and 2016, vinified in neutral oak. Dosage is 5 grams per liter." —Antonio Galloni

More about Agrapart & Fils

Strong and soft spoken, Pascal Agrapart has been working like this since 1984, well before today’s grower Champagne boom. Peter Liem compares his reputation for outstanding Côtes 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 plot’s unique terroir.

The house is based in Avize, in the Côtes 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 cuvée. The farming is intuitive and meticulous; the work in the cellar is equally painstaking.
