Pascal Agrapart (formerly Agrapart & Fils) is a producer of grower champagne which makes organic wines with a focus on terroir.[1] The house was founded in Avize by Arthur Agrapart in 1894.[2] His grandson, Pierre, expanded the production in the 1950s–1960s.[3] Since 1984, the family business has been run by Pascal Agrapart;[4] and the fifth generation of the family, Ambroise Agrapart, joined his father Pascal in 2018.
Viniculture
[edit]The vineyards are spread over 12 hectares in the Côte des Blancs among 62 parcels, most in the grand cru villages of Avize, Cramant, Oiry and Oger.[4] The vines average about 35 years of age, with some over 60 years.[4]
The house produces three vintage dated Champagnes: Minéral, L'Avizoise and Vénus.[5] Agrapart practically never chaptalizes.[4] The house produces less than 5,400 cases per year.[6][7]
Awards and honors
[edit]Agrapart & Fils has received the highest possible rating of three-stars in La Revue du vin de France's Le guide des meilleurs vins de France.[6] A 3-star rating was awarded to only nine Champagne estates in total, including Selosse, Egly-Ouriet and Krug.[6]
