About this Wine

Disgorged June 2025. Do not adjust your sets. Simply named ‘Pinot,’ this wine is the first Blanc de Noirs from Agrapart’s stable. Having worked in Burgundy with Montille and others, it is very much an ‘Ambroise Agrapart’ wine; his father Pascal was not so passionate about Pinot Noir! It’s from the family’s small vineyard, Champ Saint-Bernard, planted north of Aÿ in Avenay-Val-d'Or, a village well-known in the days when Champagne produced still wines. The vines were planted at the end of Pascal's father's career and have now reached 40-to-50 years’ age.

Based mid-slope with southeast exposure, the deep soils are clay-rich and sit over a chalk base. The wine was vinified in demi-muids with native yeast and full malolactic. It was aged in bottle ‘tirage sous liège,’ under cork. An egg outside the nest, it’s a complex and dense Champagne that speaks of its terroir without ever never tipping into heaviness. Tasted alongside the Blanc de Blancs, the timbre deepens to tenor, drawing on spice and an inkier, more savoury dynamic. Singing with flavour, the wine’s gorgeous length, seamless texture and scrupulous balance introduce an exciting new chapter in Agrapart’s story.

Wines from Champagne

Associated with luxury, celebration, Champagne is where the world’s most prized sparkling wine originates. In the past it was very common for people to confuse the term Champagne and sparkling wine as they are so synonymous. By EU law however, only sparkling wine made in the Champagne region and under strict quality standards can legally be called by that name.

Sparkling wine produced the Champagne way, goes through secondary fermentation in the bottle. This is known as méthode champenoise or outside of Champagne it is called the traditional method. When the yeast inside the bottle have finished working, they die and become lees. The lees remain in contact with the wine until the winemaker decides to take them out, creating texture, richness, and complexity in the wine.

In comparison, the other popular way of fermenting sparkling wine is called the Charmat method where the fermentation happens en masse in a large tank and extended lees contact does not happen. . This is cheaper and rather than emphasizing richness and complexity, the tank method enhances clean fruit and aromatics, making wines that are youthful and easy drinking.

The principal grapes that go into making champagne include: Chardonnay (white), Pinot Noir (red) and Pinot Meunier (red). A Champagne made exclusively from Chardonnay will be labelled Blanc de blancs while ones comprised of only red grapes will be called Blanc de noirs. Whether it be white or rose however, most Champagne is made from a mix of both red and white grapes.
