This is a superb set of new releases from Agrapart. Part of the first generation of Champagne vignerons to gain widespread acclaim, Pascal Agrapart is now handing the reins of the domaine off to his oldest son, Ambroise, a transition that has been underway for several years. It will be fascinating to follow the next era here. For now, readers will find plenty to admire in these brisk, nervy Champagnes. I recently had a chance to taste a handful of wines from magnum and a selection of older vintages that I will be writing up in a separate report. For now, the best advice I can give is to buy these Champagnes in magnum. Production of large formats is quite small, so that will be a challenge. Readers who can find these wines in magnum should snap them up.

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.

This is an interesting set of new releases from Pascal Agrapart. Readers will find Champagnes this year that are a bit more open and accessible than is often the case. I suspect that is mostly attributable to the warmth of 2019 and 2018 in some wines and the generally lighter style of 2016 in the top cuvées. I was surprised, pleasantly, by how expressive all of these Champagnes are now. As always, Agrapart tends to a small collection of parcels in and around Avize with a minimalist, organic approach. The top wines are all fermented in neutral oak and undergo full malolactic fermentation. Sulfur and dosage are on the low side. Agrapart is a terrific address for readers in search of very fine, artisanal wines from the Cotes des Blancs.

This is a strong set of new releases from Pascal Agrapart. The 2015 Champagnes are terrific within the context of a vintage that has proven to be quite irregular. The stand-out in the range, though, is the Terroirs, which delivers all of the Agrapart signatures at a more accessible price than the top bottlings. As always, a low intervention approach in both the vineyards and cellar yields Champagnes that emphasize tension and cut. All of the wines see some oak, ranging from about 25% for the entry-level offerings to 100% for the higher-end wines, but all of it 600L neutral barrels that add vinosity rather than wood signatures. Dosage is minimal.

This is a gorgeous set of new releases from Pascal Agrapart. It’s tempting to focus on the top wines, and why not? They are terrific. Specifically, the three 2014s – the Minéral, Avizoise and Vénus – show how well this vintage has developed since its early days. The flagship wines are done in neutral oak, which imparts a touch of volume, but is otherwise not intrusive. Dosage is on the low side, and what really comes through is the essence of each site. For readers who want to discover what the Côte des Blancs is all about, I can’t think of a better place to start than here.

I think I can say with confidence these are the very finest wines I have ever tasted from Pascal Agrapart. The flagship cuvées in the range are fabulous, but what really impressed me this year was how gorgeous the more 'modest' wines in the range are. Specifically, the 7 Crus and Terroirs this year are outrageously beautiful. As always, Agrapart's Champagnes are taut and intensely mineral in feel.

I was blown away by the wines I tasted from Pascal Agrapart. The entry-level wines are once again terrific, but this year I was especially impressed by the 2011, which are some of the very best wines I have tasted from this challenging and beleaguered vintage. Impeccable farming and vinifcation in oak are two of the choices that inform these rich, deep Champagnes.

This is a mixed set of releases from Agrapart in that the strongest wines are also among the estate's more modestly priced offerings. The flagship cuvées - Minéral, L'Avizoise and Vénus, which are all from the tricky 2010 vintage - are less compelling than they usually are.

Pascal Agrapart excels with bright, tense Champagnes that capture all the energy that is such a signature of the Cote des Blancs. The flagship wines usually needs a few years post-disgorgement to soften, but the 2009s may prove to be an exception. I found all three 2009 vintage wines wonderfully open and expressive when I tasted them a few weeks ago. All of the wines undergo full malolactic fermentation, and the top bottlings are aged exclusively in neutral oak.

Pascal Agrapart is one of the standard bearers in Avize and the Côte des Blancs. These new releases are all quite pretty, although I must say I was taken aback at how open the 2008 vintage wines are. Given the quality of the year and the trademark Agrapart minerality, I expected to find a much more austere set of 2008s. Of course, the good news is that those wines will all drink well early, something that is rarely the case with the top wines here.

Pascal Agrapart embodies all of the values that define grower Champagne at its best. It all starts with absolutely meticulous farming, but the work in the cellar is just as painstaking. This year, Agrapart has a new wine, the Brut Complanté, which as the name states, is a field blend, in this case comprising all six of the authorized varieties in Champagne. In addition to these wines, I also tasted the 2007 vintage wines, but those bottles were disgorged à la volée, and therefore aren't totally representative of the finished products.

Meticulous attention to farming and winemaking places Agrapart at or near the top of Champagne's finest artisan growers. These remain some of the most fascinating wines in the region. Pascal Agrapart embodies the best of the artisan tradition in Champagnes, and his wines show it.

Old vines, organic farming, fermentations using natural yeasts and full malolactic fermentation are some of the elements that inform the fine, nuanced Champagnes found at Agrapart. Readers should note that several of these releases are single-vintage wines but are not officially declared as such.

Brothers Fabrice and Pascal Agrapart farm roughly ten hectares of old-vine plots in their home town of Avize, as well as in the neighboring villages in the Côte des Blancs. The domaine favors malolactic fermentation, something that clearly benefits these intensely mineral Champagnes. The wines are bottled with no filtration and dosage for the top bottlings is very much on the low side. These pure wines from Agrapart were among the most alive and energetic Champagnes I encountered, and should be a part of any well-stocked cellar. Agrapart is in the process of adding disgorgement dates on its back labels. All of these wines, with the exception of the NV, are clearly marked.
