June 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAgrapart Terroirs Grand Cru Extra Brut NV (base 2021, disgorged June 2025) is one of Champagne’s benchmark Blanc de Blancs and a compelling demonstration of what makes the Côte des Blancs the spiritual home of Chardonnay. Sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards across Avize, Cramant, Oger and Oiry, the wine draws on some of the region’s finest chalk-rich terroirs. Adding further depth and complexity, the average vine age exceeds 50 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis release is built on an exceptional blend of three vintages—2021, 2020 and 2019—with reserve wines accounting for an extraordinary 70% of the final assemblage. Such a high proportion of mature reserve wine is a key contributor to the cuvée’s depth, texture and consistency. Following natural fermentation, around half the wine is matured in large neutral oak vessels before spending more than 36 months on lees. Disgorged by hand and finished with a dosage of just 3 g\/L, the wine combines precision with remarkable complexity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe quality difference between Terroirs and the already excellent 7 Crus is immediately apparent. The Grand Cru fruit, old vines and reserve wine influence combine to create a Champagne of greater depth, structure and mineral intensity. Despite its concentration, the wine remains defined by freshness and purity, delivering layers of citrus zest, white flowers, chalk, crushed stone and subtle brioche notes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe current disgorgement is already immensely impressive, showing both power and finesse, yet it also has the balance and structure to reward further cellaring. A world-class grower Champagne and one of the finest expressions of Grand Cru Chardonnay in the region.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Terroirs Grand Cru is unusual in that it is a blend of three vintages (2021, 2020 and 2019) instead of the more typical two, because of very low yields in 2021. There’s real density and power here, but not at the expense of Côtes des Blancs citrus, floral and mineral character. As always, the Terroirs is a blend of parcels in Avize, Oger, Cramant and Oiry, all Grand Crus.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The increased interest in champagnes from small growers has delivered a deeper, more highly pixelated picture of the region’s diverse terroirs and very few have done that with finer brushstrokes than the family Agrapart. Sourced from four key Grand Cru villages on the Côtes des Blancs – Avize, Cramant, Oger and Oiry – and built on a high percentage of reserve wines, this is a wine of achingly beautiful etching, a breathtaking cascade of pithy grapefruit, dried jasmine and crushed chalk.
