Agrapart Avize | First Releases

Agrapart Avize | Avize - Côte des Blancs

Champagne Agrapart Avize is a new independent project led by Fabrice Agrapart, following the division of the family estate. After working together at the original family domain for decades, Fabrice and his brother decided to split in 2020 to make way for the new generations of the Agrapart children.  It is distinct from Pascal Agrapart, whom we also continue to champion.

Fabrice Agrapart is now developing his own range of Champagnes, drawing on his experience at the historic family domaine while establishing a distinct identity.  The first releases are the cuvées on offer today, Atoma and Ameunia...

NV Agrapart Avize Champagne ‘Atoma’ Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature (2023 base)
• 100% Chardonnay from the 7 Grand Crus in the Côte des Blancs: Avize, Cramant, Oger, Oiry, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Vertus, and Bergères-lès-Vertus. This multi-vintage cuvée is made from 50% wine aged on fine lees in stainless-steel tank and 50% wine aged on fine lees in oak (foudre) from the Montagne de Reims, including 20% from a perpetual Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs reserve started in 2020 and kept in stainless-steel tank. It therefore contains an “atom” of each vintage since its creation.

"The famous name of Agrapart in the Côte des Blancs is today split into two separate producers: Pascal continues at Pascal Agrapart, while Fabrice debuts the new project Agrapart Avize with this Atoma cuvée. It's an alluring, precise and modern blanc de blancs that shows both intensely ripe Chardonnay fruit and precise, chalky poise. It's not an austere or especially narrow blanc de blancs, with the youngest wines coming from the hot 2022 vintage, but the open, roasted apricot, yellow apple, chamomile and sweet nut notes marry beautifully with a fluent, graceful build and detailed citric focus. A fine start for an exciting new name in the Côte des Blancs." -93DC, Tom Hewson
