2012 | Champagne Agrapart | Venus Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs

An elegant wine. Straw yellow with gold reflections. Fruity and floral aromas on the nose, accompanied by notes of brioche. On the palate the wine is long, elegant, creamy.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2012 offers a pretty Burgundian and vinous nose with ripe fruit aromas intermixed with almost flinty/reductive mineral expressions. Round, very pure and salty on the palate, this is another highly finessed and elegant cuvée from Agrapart. The wine is intense, complex and almost rich on the palate, where the finish is so incredibly pristine, fresh and delicate, very detailed and provided with an enormously long and salty finish.

Producer Information

Champagne Agrapart is a critically well-regarded and sought-after Champagne producer based in Avizé, in Champagne's Côte des Blancs subregion, just south of Épernay. It was founded by Arthur Agrapart in 1894, and extended by his grandson Pierre in the 1950s and 1960s. It is currently run by the fourth generation Pascal Agrapart as a récoltant-manipulant (RM) house, meaning it grows its own grapes – mostly Chardonnay – on 12 hectares (20 acres) of chalky soils in the Côte des Blancs. Pascal has recently been joined at the estate by his eldest son, Amboise. The Agrapart vineyards are plowed and treated with homemade composts. In the winery, grapes are fermented with wild yeasts and the base wines undergo a long aging on lees in oak barrels before the second fermentation adds the sparkle. The house is particularly associated with Chardonnay-based Champagne – of the six cuvées produced, four are Blanc de Blancs.
