The 2014 Agrapart Venus is a vintage blanc de blancs Champagne from the Grand Cru village of Avize, sourced from the eponymous vineyard worked solely by horse-drawn plough. The 2014 vintage in Champagne was noted for its high acidity and slow, balanced maturation, giving the Venus a particularly taut and pure profile compared to the richness of 2012. Aged under cork and finished with zero dosage, this release is marked by a rigorous structure, intense chalk minerality and fine complexity, featuring notes of mint, citrus flower and a lengthy, precise finish.

The 2014 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Vénus is sourced from vines planted in 1959 in the La Fosse lieu-dit, a tiny parcel measuring just 0.3 hectares that is worked by horse. It is a stunning Champagne. Initially somewhat reticent, the Vénus literally explodes with a few hours of opening. Rich, exotic and wonderfully resonant, with soaring aromatics, the 2014 captures all of the intensity of Avize, showing tons of depth and class to burn. I suggest opening it several hours in advance, which will really allow the citrus, floral and mineral flavors to come alive. The 2014 was fermented in neutral oak and aged on the cork. No dosage.
