NV Champagne Agrapart & Fils Grand Cru Terroirs Blanc de Blancs (Base 21. Disg. Mar 25)

95 POINTS

Peter Moser - Falstaff

Light greenish-yellow, silver reflections; lively, fine flinty mousse. Nuances of ripe yellow tropical fruit, a hint of apple and pineapple is underpinned by a pleasant minerality and gently roasted hazelnuts. Taut, fresh, well-structured, tight-knit palate dominated by citrus fruits, very seductive and easy to drink, salty-limestone finish. One of the best non-vintages, top price-performance ratio!

James Suckling

Creamy and flavorful, yet it remains precise and vertical, with an array of lemons, green apples, pie crust, almonds, hazelnuts and chalk. Medium-bodied with creamy, fine bubbles. Lots of energy, with zesty citrus notes at the end. Layered blanc de blancs. 100% chardonnay from 4 Grand Cru villages. 40% from 2018 and 60% from 2017. Disgorged May 2022.

James Suckling

This is very complex and layered for a NV with bread dough, sliced cooked apples, minerals and steel. Full body. Tight and compact. Nicely framed and constructed. May 2019 lot.

Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast

A blend from grand cru vineyards in the top villages of the Côte des Blancs. This is Agrapart's base wine, but it is an impressive base, with its extreme minerality that demands food, its lime, kiwi and textured fruit skin flavors. It finishes with great depth and complexity.
