"The 2005 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru LâAvizoise shows the more powerful, rich side of Avize, largely owing to the heavy presence of clay in these sites. This is one of the richer, rounder wines readers will taste from Agrapart. The fruit possesses gorgeous texture and depth, while warm, spiced notes add creaminess to the finish . . . . The Avizoise is made from parcels in Les Robards and la Voie dâEpernay, two clay-rich vineyards. The Avizoise was aged in 600-liter barrels. Dosage was 4 grams per liter . . . . I realize I am beginning to sound like a broken record, but these are once again the finest wines I have tasted from Agrapart. From top to bottom, these Champagnes are simply stunning. All of the wines are 100% Chardonnay and see full malolactic fermentation."

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.
