93 points James Suckling: "Vibrant fruit here, with peaches, apricots, lemons, pears, almonds and spicy anise notes. Fresh and crisp with very fine bubbles. Textured, with wonderful purity of fruit. 90% chardonnay and 10% pinot noir from 7 villages. Fruit 60% from 2019 and 40% from 2018. Bottled 2020. Disgorged May 2022. 5g/L dosage. Drink now. (7/18/22)"
93 points James Button (Decanter): "Agrapart describes this as its 'entry-level' wine, but it's far from your normal non-vintage Champagne. A blend of premier and grand cru grapes from two different vintages, its super-fresh, lemony nose segues into a tight, steely palate with delicious stone-fruit ripeness. It's light on its feet and very vital, with delightful juiciness balancing mineral inclusions. Very impressive. (Oct 2019)"
92 points Wine Spectator: "A well-cut Champagne, with a minerally underpinning and a pleasing tension to finely knit flavors of white cherry and Anjou pear, grated ginger and sliced almond. Plush and creamy on the lingering finish. Disgorged April 2020. Drink now through 2023. (12/15/20)"
91 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Based on the 2020 vintage, complemented by reserve wines from 2019, the latest rendition of Agrapart's NV Brut 7 Crus is charming and unusually giving at this early stage, offering up aromas of white flowers, sweet orchard fruit and ripe citrus, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and pillowy palate. Drink: 2023-2032. (12/14/23)"
91 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): "(tasted in 2023 in France; 90% chardonnay, 10% pinot noir; Avize, Cramant, Oger, Oiry, Avenay val d’Or, Val-des-Marais and Vauciennes; 60% 2020 base vintage; 40% 2019 reserves; wild fermented; 50% reserves aged 6 months in barrels; full malolactic fermentation; unfined and unfiltered; aged 20-32 months on lees; 5g/L dosage). A generously characterful 7 Crus brimming with fleshy stone fruits, spice and ginger. Its presence is toned by fine, saline chalk minerality that glides through a long finish. A 2020 of good, even ripeness. (Edition VII; 2024)"
