VITICULTURE: Biodynamic
"The 2016 Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Avizoise derives from lieux-dits Les Robarts and Les Gros Yeux in Avize, two sites that are characterized by deeper clays than those in the parcels that inform Minéral. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of apple blossom, citrus zest, confit orange, freshly baked bread and warm biscuits, it's full-bodied, satiny and layered, with terrific concentration, racy acids and a long, penetrating finish. This concentrated, vinous, chiseled Champagne is a remarkable wine!" - William Kelley, Wine Advocate
Grower champagne of intensity, purity and finesse, Pascal Agrapart produces no more than 6000 cases a year in one of Champagne’s finest regions. The chalky subsoil of the Côte des Blancs, which consists of fossilised belemnites (an extinct cuttlefish), imparts minerality and salinity; while the high limestone content aids photosynthesis whilst reflecting and storing heat, increases acidities and retains moisture.
Pascal works according to natural rhythms and sensibilities without the use of any chemical pesticides or herbicides, always ferments with indigenous yeasts to express terroir, however is uninterested in the labels of organic or biodynamic.
