Producer
The Agrapart family has farmed the Côte des Blancs since the early twentieth century. Pascal Agrapart is widely regarded as one of the finest grower-winemakers in Champagne — his parcels in Avize and Cramant are among the most coveted in the appellation. The estate is a touchstone for anyone serious about Blanc de Blancs.
🌅 Dawn· 🪨 Stone
Dawn primary — Agrapart's dedication to Grand Cru terroir and careful élevage defines Dawn energy at its most precise. These are wines made with intention at every step. Stone secondary — Grand Cru chalk from four villages delivers the mineral precision and grippy, saline finish that is Agrapart's signature.
Tasting note
One hundred percent Grand Cru fruit from Avize, Oger, Cramant and Oiry. The older of the two blended harvests sees a year in oak before bottling, then at least four years on lees in the bottle. Creamy-textured and vibrant — this is Champagne that rewards cellaring but is irresistible now.

    100% Grand Cru fruit from the villages of Avize, Oger, Cramant & Oiry.
    This non-vintage cuvée is produced from wines of two consecutive years and the older of the two is aged in oak barrels for one year before bottling. The wine is then aged on the lees in the bottle for at least 4 years.
    The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Terroirs is creamy-textured Champagne that shows tons of energy and finesse in its ripe apricots, flowers, smoke and minerals. The aromatics emerge with time, rounding out this compelling effort. The style is more generous than in the Mineral, which follows. I can?t think of too many wines on the market that give readers the opportunity to drink grand cru juice from an important vintage at this price point. Simply put, this Champagne is not to be missed. – Wine Advocate Issue #180:  92 points.
    Made from chardonnay vines between 20 and 50 years old in Avize, Cramant, Oiry and Oger, this actually contains a majority of reserve wine. While it’s ripe and rich in feel, its flavors remain well within a green-fruit spectrum of pear, apple and citrus, complemented by a fine, silky texture that reflects its grand cru origins. It’s sleek and focused on the palate, driven by a chalky tension, and it finishes with excellent length and poise.
