NV Champagne Agrapart & Fils Grand Cru 'Terroirs' Blanc de Blancs

Disgorged March 2022. Despite being one of the entry wines in the range, Terroirs is already one of Champagne’s most compelling Blanc de Blancs. It is 100% Grand Cru with the fruit sourced from only great sites across four villages in the Côte des Blancs: Avize, Cramant, Oger and Oiry. Together with the terroir, vine age is a key factor in the quality on offer (an average age of over 40 years).

This release is a blend of 2017 and 2016, with the reserve wine making up a significant 60% of the cuvée. After a natural fermentation, half the wine matured in large-format, neutral oak and then spent 46 months on lees. Dosage was limited to five grams per litre and disgorgement was carried out by hand in March 2022. These winemaking standards, combined with organic viticulture, reach benchmarks that are far higher than any Grande Marque prestige cuvée we know of.
