Produced from old-vine Grand Cru parcels in Avize and Cramant. Agrapart’s Champagnes are benchmarks for terroir-focused winemaking in the Côte des Blancs. Organic-minded farming, indigenous yeast fermentations, ageing under cork, and very low dosage preserve the depth, salinity, and mineral precision that define the estate’s style. 100% Chardonnay sourced from two vineyard blocks in Avize and Cramant with the same geological profile, giving a super mineral chalky purity.

Champagne Pascal Agrapart is one of the most highly regarded grower-producers in Champagne, based in the Grand Cru village of Avize in the Côte des Blancs. The family estate dates back to 1894 and has remained family-owned for five generations, with Pascal Agrapart taking over leadership in the 1980s. Unlike the large Champagne houses that source fruit from across the region, Agrapart works exclusively with estate-grown grapes, producing wines that are deeply rooted in the character of their vineyards and the chalk-rich terroir of the Côte des Blancs.

The domaine farms around 12 hectares across prestigious Grand Cru villages including Avize, Cramant, Oger, and Oiry, with a strong focus on old-vine Chardonnay. Pascal Agrapart is known for his meticulous vineyard work and low-intervention philosophy, using indigenous yeasts, long lees ageing, and minimal dosage to create wines of purity, minerality, and precision. Many fermentations take place in older oak barrels, adding texture without overpowering the wines’ freshness and site expression.

Today, Agrapart is considered a benchmark producer within the grower Champagne movement, admired for terroir-driven cuvées such as Terroirs, Minéral, and L’Avizoise. The wines are celebrated for their tension, elegance, and aging potential, while the estate continues to balance tradition and craftsmanship with a quiet, uncompromising approach to quality.

Always a vintage champagne, this cuvee comes from two selected vineyard blocks (Champ bouton in Avize and Bionnes in Cramant) with the same geological profile. A thin layer of soil barely covering the chalk.

Weather: The year 2018 seems to symbolize a significant climatic tipping point. After a rainy winter, the conditions at the start of the season were ideal for vines. The period of heat and drought was exceptionally long. Fortunately, as our Côte des Blanc plots are planted on exposed chalk, our vineyards did not suffer from excessive water stress. Note also that vines can withstand severe water stress. After a hot, dry season, there was no significant impact from mildew, powdery mildew or botrytis anywhere in sight. The harvest of this plot took place on September 1st. An extremely early vintage. A very healthy and generous harvest.

Expert Reviews

95/100
Antonio Galloni
“The 2018 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Minéral Grand Cru is impressive, especially for the year. As always, the Minéral is a blend from the Champboutons and Bionnes lieux-dits in Avize and Cramant, respectively. Creamy and resonant, with exquisite balance, the 2018 has so much to offer. Expressive floral, earthy and savory undertones frame a core of Chardonnay fruit. Vinification and aging in oak further softens the contours. Time in the glass amplifies the wine’s strong mineral accents. The 2018 is, quite simply, pristine. Dosage is 3 grams per liter. Disgorged: May 2024.”

“The 2018 Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Minéral, disgorged in August 2024 with three grams per liter dosage, introduces the range of vintage wines. Defined by poor soils with just about 50 centimeters of topsoil, it comes from two chalk-based, old-vine parcels: Le Champ Bouton in Avize (vinified in tank) and Les Bionnes in Cramant (vinified in an old 600-liter barrel). “In 2017, we lost about 50% to 60% due to frost, then in 2018 we harvested three times the volume of 2017,” reveals Ambroise Agrapart, who is now making the wines, though his father is still very much present. More generously structured compared to the 2016 yet more precise than the 2017, it wafts from the glass with notes of tangerine zest, green apple and dried white flowers. Nakedly chalky with electric-like acidity, it maintains its reputation as the most tensile wine in the range, capturing the freshness much better than many other wines of this vintage.”
