Agrapart

Readers who have not yet explored the Agrapart Champagnes will find a terrific opportunity to do so, as the entry-level offerings are superb. The top wines are intriguing, as always, but there is no question that the general weakness of the 2017 vintage is evident in some of the bottlings. In essence, that is the dilemma of single-parcel, single-variety, single-vintage Champagnes. When the stars align, the wines can be thrilling, but when they don’t, the traditional blending techniques so often used throughout the region are unavailable. That said, I find a certain frankness in these wines that makes them compelling, even in lighter years. Pascal Agrapart’s approach is built on organic farming and minimalist work in the cellar. The top wines are done in barrel, with full malolactic fermentation, yet rarely show overt signs of wood. Minerality, tension and focus are the most common attributes here.
