The NV Extra Brut Complantée Grand Cru soars out of the glass with striking aromatics. Bright, sculpted and perfumed, the Complantée is wonderfully expressive. This blend of co-planted Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Blanc, Arbane, Petit Meslier and Chardonnay is so expressive. It is especially aromatic and ethereal in this release. The Complantée was fermented with native yeasts in used 600-liter tonneaux. Doasage is 5 grams per liter. Disgorged: February, 2023. -- Antonio Galloni

Based on the 2019 and 2020 vintages, with 20% reserve wine aged in barrel, the Agrapart Complantée Extra Brut Grand Cru is a six cépage blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Arbonne, Petit Meslier and Pinot Blanc 100% fermented in demi-muid oak barrels. Aged 24-36 months on lies, disgorged 60 days before release with a five gram per liter dosage. Spectacularly fresh and vibrant from the start with ripe citrus, crisp yellow apple, pomegranate seeds, bread dough and chalk aromas spilling into a medium-bodied, energetic palate with a silky textured mousse, abundant fruit and vibrant, stimulating acidity. Composed and refreshing throughout, it finished with great length. - Sarah Mayo

The NV Extra Brut Grand Cru Complantée, disgorged in August 2024 with a dosage of three grams per liter, derives from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Blanc, Arbanne and Petit Meslier, all planted (in 2003 and 2015) within the same three plots in Avize. The maturity of each grape variety is different; however, they are harvested on the same day. Based on the 2021 vintage with just 10% reserve wines from 2020, it’s a wine with a chiseled, rather austere personality, marked by the cool season and defined by its vegetal material. Unfurling from the glass with scents of elderflower, lychee, mint and lemon zest, it’s medium-bodied with screeching acidity, concluding with a long, precise finish. Right now, it expresses the grape varieties more strongly than the place, but Ambroise hopes that, as the vines grow older, “it will be easier to read the terroir.” Stylistically, it could not be more different from Avizoise. - Kristaps Karklins
