The 2012 Agrapart Avizoise is a blanc de blancs Champagne from the Grand Cru village of Avize, made by Pascal Agrapart from a single lieu-dit. The successful 2012 Champagne vintage, noted for its balance and concentration despite low yields, contributes immense depth and vinosity to this zero-dosage bottling. Sourced from 45-year-old vines and fermented in barrel, this release exhibits a focused, powerful chalkiness and an intense salinity, requiring patience to fully resolve its complex notes of citrus oil, smoke and crushed stone.
