Drappier Blanc De Blanc Champagne 750ml
The vineyard
The vineyard of the Drappier Champagne House extends south of Reims over 75 hectares of vines spread between the Côte des Bar and its old vines, the Montagne de Reims and its intense pinot noir as well as the Côte des Blancs and its finely crafted chardonnay. This vineyard owes its uniqueness to its limestone-rich terroir combined with maximum sunlight. Some of the Drappier House's plots are also worked with draft horses.
The wine
Very lightly dosed with sulfur and with a blend of wines entirely aged in tanks, the Blanc de Blancs Cuvée authentically reveals the expression of a champagne whose finesse, purity, and floral elegance harmoniously combine with complexity and roundness.
Vinification and aging
This Blanc de Blancs from the Drappier House is made from the first press. Carried out by gravity, the vinification is followed by a natural settling. Malolactic fermentation. 5% of the wines are aged in cask. Bottle aging for a period of 30 months. Its dosage is 6.5 g/l.
Blend
Because the Drappier Champagne House has always cultivated its originality, the Blanc de Blancs Cuvée is a tribute to this uniqueness. If chardonnay represents 95% of the Blanc de Blancs Cuvée blend, it is completed by a touch of "true white", the other name for pinot blanc. The Drappier House passionately and convincingly cultivates the art of preserving the ancient and forgotten grape varieties of Champagne.
Tasting
Nose： The nose harmoniously blends fruity notes (white peach, pear) and floral notes (peony).
Palate： The palate seduces with its minerality, its creamy and enveloping texture, and its subtle alliance between freshness and the indulgence of biscuity notes.
Food and wine pairings
Ideal as an aperitif, this Blanc de Blancs from the Drappier House pairs perfectly with white meat, fresh citrus-smoked salmon, or tagliatelle with scallops.
