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

A blanc de blancs from a parcel with clay soil at the lower section of the parcel and chalk at the top. No mechanical work in the vineyard and fermented in demi-muids and under cork for the second fermentation. The chalk soil dominates the nose with fine, flinty and complex aromas, whereas the palate is driven by the clay soil with bolder texture that focuses in, tight and dry at the finish. Very complex in every regard. Gently nutty notes permeate lemons, grapefruit and white and yellow peaches. Superb! 96/100

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

From a parcel planted in 1959 in lieu-dit La Fosse—and uniting more clay-rich soils from the bottom of the slope with stonier, limestone-dominated soils at the top—this bottle of Agrapart's 2012 Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Vénus was disgorged in May 2019 without dosage. Unwinding in the glass with notes of crisp white peach, Anjou pear, warm bread and spices, it's full-bodied, tensile and muscular, with chalky dry extract, racy acids and an ineffable sense of completeness, concluding with a long and saline finish. 96/100

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

The 2012 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Vénus is ethereal, elusive and eccentric. It is also mesmerizingly beautiful. The expression of fruit is a bit richer and riper than in the other 2012s, with orchard fruit and tropical overtones that give the wine a sense of inner perfume and raciness. Soft curves and striking aromatics make for a stunning Champagne, an impression that is reinforced by the super-refined mousse. Persistent, racy and over, the Vénus is simply fabulous in 2012. Old vines planted in 1959 in the La Fosse lieu-dit inform the Vénus. Non-dosé. 95/100
