Tasting notes
"Vénus 2017 Brut Nature Grand Cru comes from a parcel worked by Pascal Agrapart’s horse Venus. 100% barrel fermented and aged five to six years on fine lees under cork closure, it is disgorged 60 days prior to release then finished with zero dosage. Sophisticated and intriguing aromas of butter pastry, bruised apple, lemon preserves and spiced pear flow into a restrained, medium to full-bodied palate that weaves vibrant, assertive acidity through a mesh of pure fruit intensity. It finishes wonderfully fresh, honeyed and elegant with a subtle chalky grip. "

More About The Winery
Founded in 1894, Champagne Agrapart is today recognized as one of the finest grower-producers in the Côte des Blancs. Since 1984, Pascal Agrapart has crafted wines from the estate’s 12 hectares of old vines across the Grand Cru villages of Avize, Cramant, Oiry, and Oger.
The domaine follows a natural, low-intervention philosophy: no chemical pesticides or herbicides, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and partial ageing in large 600-liter oak casks. This approach ensures that every cuvée reflects the chalky terroir and vibrant life of the soils, resulting in Champagnes of precision, minerality, and depth.
