Drappier Description

For lovers of pure sensations we have created a 100% Pinot Noir cuvée with no dosage. It contains only the wine's natural residual sugar at less than 2g per bottle. Moreover, the use of an absolute minimum of sulphur gives the wine the freedom to express itself totally. On the nose there is crisp and at the same time ripe fruit. On the palate it is upright and pure, with abundant finesse and freshness.

Vermilion gold in color. Nose of freshly pressed black grapes, of red, white and citrus fruits. Ample palate with flesh of vineyard peach and bouquet of aromatic herbs. Small spicy notes in the finish. A fine, tightly knit Champagne of great purity.

Ideal as an aperitif. The perfect accompaniment for seafood, sashimi or even soft goat's cheese.

Critical Acclaim

Wine Enthusiast
This dry Champagne forms a good contrast with the Brut Nature Rosé from the same producer. There is more weight to this wine, more richness and, in the case of this bottling, more bottle age. With its flavors of white fruit and toast, this wine is very ready to drink, with a rich aftertaste.

A fully mature nose offers up notes of petrol, toasty, brown butter, plenty of yeast and whiff of aged cider. There is both good richness and volume to the delicious and sappy medium-bodied flavors that possess solid mid-palate density, all wrapped in a moderately firm and highly complex finale that isn't as dry as the zero dosage would normally suggest. This is one of those Champagnes that is showing ample maturity and if super-fresh and youthful fruit is your preference, this isn't for you. With that said I underscore that this is not made in an oxidative style either.

A firm version, yet well-knit and lacy in texture, offering aromas and flavors of juicy white cherry, raspberry, salted Marcona almond and honeycomb. Delivers hints of spices and herbs on the finish. Drink now.
