Champagne Avizoise Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut Nature 2019

100 procent Chardonnay, ligesom »Mineral«, og ligeledes 100 procent dyrket i Avize. Vinstokkene er over 50 år gamle, og vinen dyrkes i Avize på et underlag af kalksten med et ca. 0,5 meter tykt lag ler og delvist på ren kalksten, dvs. det er en kombination. I modsætning til Mineral, hvor der overvejende er en større andel ler i jordbunden, og hvor vinen efter et halvt års flaskegæring ikke lukkes med en almindelig kronkapsel, men i stedet på klassisk vis korkes med trådring, hvilket ifølge Agrapart giver renere og mere spændende, kraftigere, tættere og mere modne vine, der modnes med større indflydelse fra oxidation. 2019-årgangen blev degorgeret i oktober 2025 efter over 5 år på gæren med nul dosering. Allerede tidligt viser den sin enorme storhed: krydderier, urter, kridt, mynte, pære, blomster, mineraler... Enorm dybde, citrusfrugter, fyldig og utrolig kompleks. Avizoise griber virkelig fat i ganen; det er en champagne af enormt format, trods det ekstremt sparsomme mineralske udtryk fra Avize. I den flere minutter lange eftersmag finder den dog sin finesse i den ekstremt lange afslutning. Denne vin har blot brug for ti år mere modning end Mineral, men vil i sidste ende blive den større vin.

Parker om: Champagne Avizoise Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut Nature

Disgorged in October 2025 without dosage, the 2019 Blanc de Blancs Avizoise leaps from the glass with a flamboyant bouquet of orange confit, ripe peach and rose apple, mingled with freshly baked bread. On the palate, it is full-bodied and immensely concentrated, open-knit and muscular, with a rich, textural core of fruit and succulent yet vibrant acidity, enlivened by a pinpoint mousse and concluding with a flavorful finish tinged with orange. Avizoise is often the richest and most demonstrative wine in the portfolio, but this year it goes well beyond that descriptor. A residual sugar of around four grams per liter lends a more generous, giving style, and the wine will age on its concentration rather than its acidity. As ever, it derives from clay-rich soils in the commune of Avize and is typically where Agrapart begins the harvest; yields were reduced by some 30% due to frost this year.

Suckling om: Champagne Avizoise Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut Nature

An austere nose of lime zest, chalk and lemon leaves. It needs time in the glass to become gentler, with lemon curd and apple flavors, pinprick bubbles, a medium body and very good concentration that’s typical of the vintage. A restrained wine with zesty, integrated acidity and a super tight-knit texture. Drink or hold.

Galloni om: Champagne Avizoise Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut Nature

The 2019 Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs L'Avizoise Grand Cruis dialed up to the maximum. Ample and broad on the palate, the Avizoise is seriously impressive right out of the gate. So expressive today, the 2019 will only improve over time. Even in the early going, it soars with tremendous textural resonance and body. The natural gravitas of these sites (Champboutons and Bionnes) in Avize comes through loud and clear. The Avizoise is the most dense and potent of these Champagnes from Agrapart. It is bottled with no dosage but does have 3 grams of natural residual sugar. Disgorged: June 2025; multiple disgorgements throughout the year.
