How to serve it
Tasting notes
Deep straw gold with a fine, insistent bead. Baked apple, hazelnut and brioche on the nose, with chalk dust, dried citrus and a touch of fennel. The palate is broad and textured, its mousse creamy rather than sharp, built on ripe Chardonnay fruit and a firm saline core. The finish is long and savoury, closing on toasted almond and lemon peel.
About this wine
Pascal Agrapart farms a little over twelve hectares in the Côte des Blancs, almost all of it in the Grand Cru villages around Avize, and works the soil with ploughs and in places with a horse. L'Avizoise comes from two old-vine parcels in Avize itself, Les Robarts and La Voie d'Epernay, on deep clay over chalk.
The wine ferments in oak barrels without malolactic conversion, ages several years on its lees and is disgorged with a minimal dosage. The clay soils give a Blanc de Blancs with unusual breadth and texture for the village.
Powerful, vinous Champagne from one of the region's leading growers.
