Pascal Agrapart Terroirs Extra Brut Grand Cru Blanc de Blanc NV

You only need to look at the range of wines to understand how special and unique this grower is. Despite being one of their entry level wines, Terroirs is already one of Champagne’s most compelling Blanc de Blancs. It is 100% Grand Cru with the fruit sourced from exclusively great sites across four villages. The Domaine then offers three vintage-dated parcellaires cuvées from what Agtapart considers the three main terroirs of Avize: Minéral, Avizoise and Vénus -the latter is simply one of the greatest cuvées of the region. In addition, there is now the Complantée, from a single parcel in Avize that Agrapart co-planted with six varieties, the Vieux Millésime, a late-disgorged Minéral aged on cork, and Expérience, which, without giving too much away, is one of the most unique wines in Champagne. Together, these represent a remarkable line-up of Avize mousseux (with a little Cramant), all grown in historically significant vineyards by a grower with few peers in his region.
