ABOUT THIS WINE

Pascal Agrapart "Terroirs" is a pure 100% Chardonnay Champagne sourced from Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs (primarily Avize, Oger, Cramant, and Oiry). Vines here are 20 to 50+ years old, farmed in a heavily naturalist style to preserve and improve soil health. No herbicides or pesticides are used.
Its vinification is entirely parcel-specific and minimalist, emphasizing natural, terroir-driven expression over technological intervention. After harvest and pressing, the wine is first fermented spontaneously using indigenous/native yeasts. The base wine is typically split between stainless steel tanks and older, large-format oak barrels (demi-muids). Roughly 50% to 60% of the cuvée is composed of reserve wines, often partially aged in oak casks. The wine ages on its lees for an extended period, generally ranging from 36 to 48+ months.  Finally, yhe wine is disgorged with very low dosage (typically around 3 to 5 grams per liter), qualifying it as an Extra Brut.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Founded in 1894 in the Grand Cru village of Avize, Agrapart is one of Champagne’s most respected grower-producers. Unlike many small estates, the Agrapart family has bottled under its own label since the domaine’s inception. Pascal Agrapart managed the estate for many years before passing it over to his son Ambroise. Ambroise is the fifth generation of the family.

The domaine farms approximately 10 hectares of predominantly Grand Cru Chardonnay vineyards in Avize, Oger, Cramant, and Oiry, with a small holding of Pinot Noir in Avenay-Val-d'Or. Production remains intentionally small, never exceeding 5,400 cases annually. Many vines are over 70 years old, and the estate has practiced organic farming for years, focusing on vineyard health rather than certification or marketing.

Agrapart is renowned for producing precise, terroir-driven Champagnes that showcase the chalk-rich soils of the Côte des Blancs. The range includes the non-vintage cuvées Les 7 Crus, Terroirs, and Complantée, as well as the acclaimed single-vineyard vintage wines Minéral, Vénus, and L’Avizoise. The estate also produces the rare Expérience, made using only grapes with no added yeast, sugar, or sulfur—a pioneering technique now known as the “Agrapart Method.”

Today, Agrapart is widely regarded as one of Champagne’s benchmark grower estates, admired for its commitment to quality, authenticity, and expressive vineyard-driven wines.
