The Champagne house of Pascal Agrapart is located in the celebrated village of Avize in the heart of the Côte de Blancs. The estate previously known as Agrapart & Fils was established in 1894, yet unlike many of the smaller grower Champagne houses that have only begun to estate bottle under their own labels in recent decades, the Agrapart family have done so since the inception of the domaine. The winery was founded by Arthur Agrapart and is now run by the fifth generation of the family, Ambroise Agrapart, who joined his father Pascal in the 2018 vintage.
They farm 10 hectares of predominantly Chardonnay vineyards, the vast majority of which are Grand Cru in the heart of the Côte de Blancs (mostly in the villages of Avize, Oger, Cramant and Oiry). Additionally, a small percentage of Pinot Noir is planted north of Aÿ in Avenay-Val-d'Or, a well-known village in the days when Champagne produced still wines. Vines that were planted at the end of Pascal's father's career have now reached 40-50 years of age. With complex juices from these coveted Pinot terroirs, Ambroise has added a Côteaux Champenois Rouge and a Rosé Champagne to the range, both released in 2025. To ensure the highest possible quality, production has always been kept at an artisanal level, with quantities of no more than 5,400 cases produced in any given year. Vine age is among the oldest in the Côte de Blancs, with many of Agrapart’s vineyards in excess of seventy years of age, and the average overall age of the vines is a healthy forty years old. The estate has also farmed organically for years, but has never really publicized it. For Pascal, this was merely the right way to farm, not a marketing fad to promote the wines. From these fine, old Chardonnay vineyards, Agrapart produces some of the most refined and complex wines to be found in the region.
1500 mlNon-vintage blend of têtes de cuvée from terroirs in Avize, Oger, Cramant, and Oiry. A fine, elegant, yet powerful Champagne, truly great.
