Anthocya is a rosé that is neither blended nor saignée.
Anthocya challenges the conventional ways of making rosé Champagne.
Fabrice Agrapart uses an original, precisely controlled method in which its delicate pink hue comes solely from the anthocyanins naturally present in just 2% Pinot Noir — hence the name, Anthocya.
At its heart, however, this remains very much a Côte des Blancs wine, comprising predominantly Chardonnay from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, complemented by Pinot Noir from Vertus.
The result is an unconventional rosé based on Chardonnay rather than Pinot, with a delicate hue and mineral character.

Champagne Agrapart
Founded in 1894 in the Grand Cru village of Avize, Champagne Agrapart is a renowned grower-producer in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. Now led by fourth-generation winemaker Fabrice Agrapart, the estate continues its commitment to artisanal, terroir-driven viticulture, crafting Champagnes that express finesse, minerality and remarkable depth.
Today, Fabrice oversees a 5.5-hectare estate comprising 4.3 hectares of family vineyards inherited from the former Agrapart & Fils, together with 1.2 hectares of newly acquired parcels in Avize and Oger.
While honouring the family's long-established pursuit of precision and purity, Fabrice brings a fresh and distinctive vision to Champagne Agrapart. His wines embrace texture, imagination and thoughtful experimentation, resulting in expressive, characterful cuvées that challenge convention while remaining deeply rooted in the exceptional terroirs of the Côte des Blancs.
