Producer Information

Champagne Pascal Agrapart (formerly Agrapart & Fils) is a critically well-regarded and sought-after Champagne producer based in Aviz, in Champagne’s Cte des Blancs subregion, just south of pernay. It was founded by Arthur Agrapart in 1894, and extended by his grandson Pierre in the 1950s and 1960s. It is currently run by the fourth generation Pascal Agrapart as a rcoltant-manipulant (RM) house, meaning it grows its own grapes mostly Chardonnay on 12 hectares (20 acres) of chalky soils in the Cte des Blancs. Pascal has recently been joined at the estate by his eldest son, Amboise. The Agrapart vineyards are plowed and treated with homemade composts. In the winery, grapes are fermented with wild yeasts and the base wines undergo a long aging on lees in oak barrels before the second fermentation adds the sparkle. The house is particularly associated with Chardonnay-based Champagne of the six cuves produced, four are Blanc de Blancs.
