ZERO DOSAGE, ZERO SULPHUR, 100% PINOT NOIR, NATURE AT ITS FINEST.
Wine Region: Champagne, France
Type: Champagne
Grape: Pinot Noir
Tasting Notes: Here everything is purity. In the culmination of a process which over the years has led us to reduce the quantity of sulphites, no sulphur is added to this cuvée during the different stages of vinification, allowing the Pinot Noir to express itself in perfect freedom.
Without dosage but even so exhibiting a remarkable roundness thanks to the maturity of the fruit and the time spent down in our cellars, this cuvée evokes lovely apples and Williams pear, with a hint of citrus fruits.
About The Winery
Champagne Drappier was founded in 1808. Located in the Aube region, the house is famed for the introduction of Pinot Noir to the area and Georges Collot, grandfather of Michel Drappier, earned the name Pere Pinot, or father Pinot. Today, Pinot Noir accounts for around three quarters of of the vineyards in Aube. Drappier owns 55 hectres of vines in the estate's home village of Urville, Bar sur Aube. They also rent vineyards and buy grapes that meet their stringent quality level. The house style is, not surprisingly, Pinot dominant. The estate's top wine, Les Sendree, comes from a single vineyard and was first produced in 1974. The Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines are 70 years old producing a deep and intense wine. It is known as the best Champagne of the Aube.
