Agrapart Grand Cru Blanc de Blanc NV Review

Note this wine was disgorged in 2023, more recent than the one you will see around for several dollars less. This is one of my favourite champagnes. Pascasl Agrapart is recognised as one of the best growers in Champagne, with outstanding vineyards. Here are a few accolades:

“Agrapart’s wines are of uniformly excellent quality, with a naturally vibrant and vinous character that makes them feel grown rather than made.” Peter Liem, champagneguide.net

“… this is a model source of fine-drawn Champagnes … Because there are no large marketing budgets to factor in, these are also some of the best value wines in Champagne.” Michael Edwards, The Finest Wines of Champagne.

“Pascal Agrapart embodies the best of the artisan tradition in Champagne, and his wines show it.” Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate.

This release is a blend of 2018 and 2019, with the reserve wine making up an amazing 80% of the blend. After a natural fermentation, half the wine was matured in large format, neutral oak and then spent up to 36 months on lees. Dosage was limited to five grams per litre and disgorgement carried out by hand in March 2023.

“The latest rendition of Agrapart's NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Terroirs is excellent. Based on the 2018 vintage, with fully 60% reserve wines from 2017 (some 40% of which mature in wood), it's medium to full-bodied, seamless and chiseled, evocative of citrus oil, buttered toast, mint and fresh bread. It derives from holdings in Avize, Oger, Cramant and Oiry.”
93 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate.

“Creamy and flavorful, yet it remains precise and vertical, with an array of lemons, green apples, pie crust, almonds, hazelnuts and chalk. Medium-bodied with creamy, fine bubbles. Lots of energy, with zesty citrus notes at the end. Layered blanc de blancs.”
95 points, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com
