■パーカー95点 “精細を極めたシャンパンづくりの最高のお手本” “コート・デ・ブランの自家栽培醸造家のなかで、この10haのドメーヌほどメディアに取り上げられ、またそれに値するものはない。” “キュヴェ・ヴェニュは、アヴィズ村の精髄ともいうべき24haの命名畑ラ・フォッセの100％から造られる。” 2007 Agrapart & Fils Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Venus95pt.Drink2013-2021Named 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. Pascal and Fabrice Agrapart farm 24 acres morsellated into more than 60 parcels the length of the Cote des Blancs, overwhelmingly planted with selections massales (principally of the family’s own, generations-long devising) rather than clones. Viticulture is clearly a meticulous concern, and while this estate doesn’t subscribe to any labels, it has a lot in common ? including absence of herbicides or pesticides; generally minimalist cellar protocol; manual- and in some instances horse-plowing ? with soil-conscious growers of officially organic or biodynamic persuasion. “It’s in warm, dry vintages with low acidity that you most see the effect of working the soil and making the roots go deep,” opines Pascal Agrapart, adding “I recently had a wonderful experience with a 1976 that was still full of vivacity.” Vinification is majority in tank for the two least expensive bottlings, but otherwise in old demi-muids in which primary fermentation is spontaneous and generally leisurely, with malo-lactic conversion initiated via a vinous starter to insure steady completion. Agrapart’s 2012 vins clairs and 2011 reserves, incidentally ? wine isn’t assembled and bottled here until the end of the summer ? were delightful and fascinating when tasted from barrel this June. There was noteworthy clarity, vibrancy and complexity to every wine I tasted here in June and thereafter, so it would have broken my heart not to be able to report on the non-vintage wines, but to do so, I must confess I’m walking close to the line of the conventions I established for my reports, because neither disgorgement dates nor lots are actually indicated on the label or bottle here, but rather on the top of the cork, with the months assigned consecutive capital letters, followed by the last two digits of the year in which the wine was disgorged. This means you’ll either need to buy and remove the cage from the first bottle or get some cooperation from your merchant if you want to know when the wine was disgorged (and as at other addresses, this won’t always be a reliable indicator as to the base wines in question, because Agraparts disgorge their “7 Crus” and “Terroirs” bottlings monthly).eRobertParker.com #1113 （2013-11-30） コート・デ・ブランの自家栽培醸造家のなかで、この10haのドメーヌほどメディアに取り上げられ、またそれに値するものはない。その理由は、ここが精細を極めたシャンパンづくりの最高のお手本であり、そのブドウがどこよりも美しく几帳面にしつらえられた葡萄畑から生まれるものだからである。 キュヴェ・ヴェニュは、アヴィズ村の精髄ともいうべき24haの命名畑ラ・フォッセの100％から造られる。その畑では機械は一切使われず、人と美しい雌白馬のヴニュが一緒になって畑を耕す。醸造はすべて樽で行われ、葡萄樹の年齢とヴィンテージの豊かさのおかげで、砂糖を加える必要はまったくない。 （ガイアブックス『FINE WINEシリーズ シャンパン』より）
