95 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): "(2014 base vintage; 100% chardonnay from 20–50-year-old vines in Avize, Oger, Cramant and Oiry; 40% 2014; 60% 2013 reserves aged in barrel for 6 months; 5g/L dosage). A seamlessly crafted blanc de blancs that walks a confident tightrope between wonderful fruit presence, focused acid line and heightened mineral character, singing with the freshness of apple and lemon fruit. Deeply embedded in grand cru chalk soils, the minerality of these older vines shines brilliantly in fine chalk structure, soft, salty and frothy. In line, length and most of all inimitable Côte des Blancs chalk minerality, this is a beautifully crafted and terroir-infused cuvée, and hands-down the greatest Terroirs since the stunning 2010/2009 blend. (2020-2021)"

95 points James Suckling: "Creamy and flavorful, yet it remains precise and vertical, with an array of lemons, green apples, pie crust, almonds, hazelnuts and chalk. Medium-bodied with creamy, fine bubbles. Lots of energy, with zesty citrus notes at the end. Layered blanc de blancs. 100% chardonnay from 4 Grand Cru villages. 40% from 2018 and 60% from 2017. Disgorged May 2022. Drink now or hold. (7/18/22)"

95 points Peter Moser (Falstaff): "Light greenish-yellow, silver reflections; lively, fine flinty mousse. Nuances of ripe yellow tropical fruit, a hint of apple and pineapple is underpinned by a pleasant minerality and gently roasted hazelnuts. Taut, fresh, well-structured, tight-knit palate dominated by citrus fruits, very seductive and easy to drink, salty-limestone finish. One of the best non-vintages, top price-performance ratio! (11/19/20)"

94 points Decanter: "Sourced from specific grand cru plots of older vines in Avize, Oger, Cramant and Oiry, this blend of two vintages displays a zesty lemon aroma, followed by a palate full of fresh apple and tangerine flavours with creamy wood touches. At 5g/l of residual sugar, this nudges into the Extra-Brut category, and it must be one of the very best examples of the style. It works particularly well as a blanc de blancs, and its dry, steely, mineral, moreish character imparts great balance to the ripe fruit profile. (Nov 2019)"

93 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The latest rendition of Agrapart's NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Terroirs is excellent. Based on the 2018 vintage, with fully 80% reserve wines from 2017 (some 40% of which mature in wood), it's medium to full-bodied, seamless and chiseled, evocative of citrus oil, buttered toast, mint and fresh bread. It derives from holdings in Avize, Oger, Cramant and Oiry. Drink: 2022-2040. (Aug 2022)"

93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Terroirs Grand Cru is bright, punchy and full of the tension that is such an Agrapart signature. Grapefruit, mint, white pepper and crushed rocks all lend quite a bit of brilliance to this striking, sculpted Champagne. The balance and purity here is unreal, especially at this price point. The Terroirs is the hidden gem in the Agrapart range this year. Don"t miss it. Dosage is 5 grams per liter. Disgorged: May, 2021. Drink: 2021-2028. (Nov 2021)"
