"The 2006 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Vénus brings together the best qualities of the house style. Rich yet weightless, the Vénus impresses for its refined, layered personality.

"The 2006 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Vénus brings together the best qualities of the house style. Rich yet weightless, the Vénus impresses for its refined, layered personality. Sweet floral notes, Chamomile, spices and citrus resonate with tons of class and sheer personality. This is yet another great showing from Agrapart. The Vénus is made from a tiny parcel in Avize measuring just 0.3 hectares and is farmed entirely by the horse for whom the wine is named. Disgorged June 2012."

"Compared with Agrapart's other cuvées, Vénus always appears more multi-faceted, with an extra dimension and depth of flavor. The 2006 is no exception, and in fact, it could turn out to be one of the finest editions of this cuvée that we've seen yet. It's intensely focused on minerality, its fruit seeming to disappear into the complex layers of chalk and stone that overtake the palate, and it finishes with graceful poise and exceptional length. It's a wine of tremendous personality and sophistication, demonstrating again that Vénus is one of the most exciting champagnes being made today. Last tasted: 11/12."
