Current Vintage: Non-vintage
Grapes: 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir
Champagne Agrapart is one of the great names in grower Champagne. Based in Avize, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, the family has been cultivating vines since 1894. Today, Pascal Agrapart and his son Ambroise produce some of the region's most compelling Champagnes, with an emphasis on careful vineyard work, minimal intervention and an extraordinary sense of place.
7 Crus takes its name from the seven villages that contribute to the blend, including Avize, Oger, Cramant and Oiry. Predominantly Chardonnay, with a smaller proportion of Pinot Noir, it combines the chalky precision of the Côte des Blancs with a little extra richness and structure. Fermentation in a combination of oak and stainless steel, followed by extended ageing on the lees, brings depth and texture. The Extra Brut dosage keeps the wine wonderfully focused.
Fresh lemon, crisp pear and green apple meet white flowers, toasted almond and a delicate hint of brioche. The palate is beautifully energetic, with fine bubbles, lively citrus acidity and a distinctive chalky, saline character. There's enough richness to make it satisfying, but the overall impression is one of remarkable freshness and precision. Fabulous with oysters, scallops, sushi or a plate of aged Comté. A brilliant introduction to Agrapart, and a reminder of just how exciting grower Champagne can be!
