"Tension, energy and cut are the signatures of Agrapart's 2008 L'Avizoise. Expressive floral notes appear over time, giving the 2008 an attractive upper register of pure nuance. Here it is the wine's overall polish that impresses most. Like all of the 2008s, the Avizoise is surprisingly open and expressive for a young Agrapart Champagne. The Avizoise emerges from 50 year-old vines in Les Robarts and La Voie dâEpernay."

The northerly region that gives its name to the world's most celebrated sparkling wine, made by secondary fermentation in bottle from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Chalky soils and a cool climate yield wines of finesse and longevity.
The sole appellation for true Champagne, producing sparkling wines of finesse and complexity by traditional method from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
