Pascal Agrapart Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Avizoise 2020

Pascal Agrapart’s Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Avizoise 2020 is a precise and terroir-driven Champagne made entirely from Chardonnay sourced from the Grand Cru village of Avize. Known for its purity, depth, and mineral tension, it showcases one of the Côte des Blancs’ most celebrated terroirs in a beautifully focused style. This is a wine that reflects both the character of the site and the house’s long-standing commitment to low-intervention winemaking.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Avizoise 2020 is typically pale gold with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose opens with citrus blossom, lemon zest, green pear, chalk, and subtle toasted almond notes, gradually revealing more complex brioche and wet-stone nuances with air. On the palate, it is taut and layered, combining vivid acidity with a creamy, silken texture and a pronounced mineral edge. Flavors of citrus, white peach, oyster shell, and saline chalk carry through to a long, precise finish. It has excellent aging potential and should develop additional richness, complexity, and nuance over the next decade or more.

Production
Avizoise comes from old Chardonnay vines in the Grand Cru vineyards of Avize, a chalk-rich site in the Côte des Blancs known for producing wines with elegance, structure, and mineral drive. The terroir is defined by deep limestone soils and a cool continental climate, both of which help preserve freshness and aromatic precision. Pascal Agrapart is known for careful hand-harvesting, minimal intervention, and vinification that respects the identity of each parcel, allowing the character of Avize to come through clearly.

Food & Serving
This Champagne is ideal with refined dishes such as oysters, scallops, sashimi, grilled lobster, or delicate poultry with cream-based sauces. It also pairs beautifully with aged hard cheeses and dishes featuring truffle or mushrooms. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C, and a short period of aeration in the glass can help the wine open up, though decanting is generally not necessary.

Producer
Pascal Agrapart is a highly respected grower-producer based in Avize, at the heart of the Côte des Blancs. The domaine has built a strong reputation for producing expressive, site-specific Champagnes that highlight the nuances of individual vineyards rather than relying on a uniform house style. Today, Agrapart is widely regarded as one of Champagne’s benchmark names for Chardonnay-driven, artisanal wines, with a particular emphasis on precision, transparency, and terroir expression.
