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

-- Parker: Named for the late, lamented horse whose successor now plows the portion of La Fosse (with both chalk and clay elements) in which it originates, Agrapart’s 2007 Brut Blanc de Blancs Nature Venus opens up with sourdough, lightly toasted wheat, lemon rind, iris, lily-of-the-valley, and intimations of ocean breeze that presage the mineral nuance and saliva gland-milking salinity featured on a spare yet delicate palate, where juicy fresh pear and apple lusciously enter the equation. This is understated in the manner also of Agrapart’s “Avizoise” bottling and brings to bear a shimmeringly interactive array of crystalline and stony nuances and diverse, mouthwateringly savory and mineral coquillage in its hauntingly long, still subtly and refreshingly fruited finish. It is likely to merit following for at least 6-8 years.95/100

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

-- Galloni: Agrapart's 2007 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Venus is fabulous. A wine of extraordinary depth and concentration, the 2007 Venus boast tons of richness and intensity. Lemon oil, white flowers, crushed rocks and mint all wrap around the palate and never let up. An eternal, beautifully resonant finish leaves a lasting impression. This is a dazzling Champagne by any measure. The Venus is made from a tiny parcel of 50+ year-old vines worked only by the horse after which the wine is named. Sadly, the original Venus recently passed away. The 2007 was bottled with no dosage. This bottle was disgorged on July 2013. -- Antonio Galloni 95/100
