Agrapart Venus Blanc de Blancs 2016

Champagne Agrapart is a critically well-regarded and sought-after Champagne producer based in Avizé, in Champagne's Côte des Blancs subregion, just south of Épernay.  This is one of the finest grower champagnes available and their wines are some of the greatest cuvées of the Côte des Blancs, with the power and lineage of a good white Burgundy. 

Review

"Agrapart's striking 2016 Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Vénus unwinds in the glass with scents of citrus oil, crisp stone fruit, toasted almonds, warm biscuits, orange zest and iodine. Full-bodied, concentrated and tightly wound, with terrific depth at the core, racy acids and a long, intensely saline finish, it's another brilliant wine from this benchmark grower-bottler." - 98pts - Wine Advocate
