Pascal Agrapart Les 7 Crus
Country: France
Region: Champagne
Grapes: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier
Vintage: NV
The only problem with Agrapart Champagne is that the demand for them is so high worldwide that prices have increased and will almost certainly continue to do so – it doesn't help that Anselme Selosse advised Pascal to move his prices up towards his level!
This comes from vines in seven villages, including the Grands Crus of Avize, Cramant, Oiry and Oger. Based on the 2021 vintage (with some reserve wines) and given over two years 'sur lattes', the dosage of 6g/l is well-judged, helping to emphasize its driving fruitiness and minerality. It is a perfect example of how a good NV champagne balances character and authenticity with sheer, delicious drinkability.
