Agrapart & Fils, Champagne, Avize, 7 Crus Extra Brut (Base 2023)

The Agrapart & Fils estate is based in the village of Avize, where the family has produced wine across four generations since its founding in 1894. This cuvée is made from a blend of 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir sourced from seven distinct vineyard sites across the Côte des Blancs, characterized by chalky soils and vines that average over 40 years of age. On the palate, the wine reveals notes of lemon zest, fresh apple, and a distinct mineral salinity, all held together by a refined, persistent mousse. It offers a balanced structure that is ready to enjoy tonight, though its depth and intensity allow it to age comfortably in the cellar for several years.
