Champagne Terroirs by Agrapart: The Authentic Spirit of Côte des Blancs
Champagne Terroirs by Agrapart & Fils is a cuvée that embodies the purest essence of the Côte des Blancs, one of the most prestigious areas in Champagne. Sourced from Chardonnay grapes grown in Grand Cru vineyards in the villages of Avize, Cramant, Oger, and Oiry, this bottle authentically reflects the character of the region, where chalk and minerality take center stage with every sip.
A Champagne with Mineral and Pure Character
Champagne Terroirs is a cuvée that makes no compromises. With a vinification process that prioritizes the purity of Chardonnay, its freshness and distinct mineral character shine through strongly. The winemaking process takes place in used oak barrels, allowing for spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, avoiding chemicals and respecting the integrity of the terroir.
This Champagne stands out for its exceptional finesse, elegance, and complexity, but also for its remarkable ageability. It offers a perfect balance between minerality, freshness, and chalk notes, defining its unique identity.
Traditional Method for an Exceptional Champagne
Respect for the terroir extends beyond vine cultivation to the winemaking process. Agrapart & Fils follows an agrobiological approach, excluding the use of fertilizers and pesticides. The grapes are hand-harvested, and fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, preserving the authenticity and uniqueness of the wine.
The aging on lees is lengthy, allowing this Champagne to mature slowly, developing greater complexity and a structure that makes it perfect for cellaring.
The Perfect Balance Between Tradition and Innovation
Agrapart & Fils has always aimed to blend the tradition of the Côte des Blancs with innovation. The Terroirs cuvée represents this philosophy, where craftsmanship in viticulture and winemaking merges with respect for the environment and nature. The resulting wine reflects a meticulous process, where every stage is carefully managed to ensure excellence.

Maison Agrapart & Fils: The Craft of Champagne from the Côte des Blancs
Located in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, in Avize, is one of the most authentic and respected maisons in Champagne: Agrapart & Fils. Founded in 1894, this family-owned estate has built its reputation on a simple yet profound philosophy: to produce Champagne that genuinely speaks of its land, with purity, minerality, and transparency.
Agrapart’s Philosophy: A Commitment to Nature and Terroir
Agrapart & Fils cultivates 12 hectares of vineyards, the majority of which are Grand Cru, located in the villages of Avize, Cramant, Oger, and Oiry. These chalky soils are perfect for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The viticulture is carried out according to agrobiological practices. Though not certified, the estate refrains from using chemical fertilizers and herbicides, instead focusing on the health and balance of the soil. In some plots, such as the one for the famous Vénus cuvée, horses are still used to work the soil without compacting it.
Crafting Champagne: Tradition, Respect, and Quality
The winemaking process at Agrapart is artisanal and focuses on expressing the purest qualities of the fruit and terroir. The grapes are fermented in used oak barrels, which helps preserve the natural character of the wine. Indigenous yeasts are used to encourage spontaneous fermentations, and each vineyard is vinified separately to showcase its unique characteristics. No fining or filtration is used, and the wines undergo extended aging on the lees, often lasting over three years, which adds complexity and structure.
The Agrapart Style: Pure, Mineral Champagne
The result of this approach is a style of Champagne that stands out for its tension, freshness, and mineral character. Agrapart focuses on producing cuvées that are Brut Nature or Extra Brut to highlight the precision of Chardonnay and the mineral expression of the Côte des Blancs terroirs. Each bottle represents a true expression of the land, with essential, vibrant, and age-worthy Champagne.
