Grapes: 100% Chardonnay

The Champagne house of Agrapart et Fils is located in the celebrated village of Avize in the heart of the Côte de Blancs. The estate was established in 1894, yet unlike many of the smaller grower Champagne houses that have only begun to estate bottle under their own labels in recent decades, the Agrapart family has done so since the inception of the domaine. 

This was an experiment of Pascal's where he sought to make a champagne produced only from grapes, with no yeast, sugar or dosage. To accomplish this, he took a base wine and then added the unfermented pressed grape juice from the following vintage which then became the prise de mousse for creating the secondary fermention. This tiny cuvee is not made every year, but only made when two successive vintage create the ideal conditions for making this cuvee.
