🌎 Champagne Drappier Carte d'Or Brut NV 0.75l

Champagne Drappier Carte D’OR NV

Carte d’Or expresses the identity of the champagne house directed by the same family since 1808. In Urville, the heart of the Côte des Bar. 

Lots and lots of Pinot Noir in here so expect complexity and depth – Almost a full-on Blanc de noir. Lots of Richness. A spiciness with a delicate touch of quince jelly. Not two characteristics id put together but it works here. Appearance of malolactic fermentation

Drappier comprises 55 hectares of land. The Pinot Noir plantation represents 70-75% of the vineyard. Its label of bright yellow makes it easily recognisable amongst other champagnes on the shelves!

This Wine shows off Drappier’s character as a Champagne House. IT keeps one foot in the past and one firmly into the future! Drappier tends to have a lesser approach when it comes to winemaking. Using less additives and concentrating on the influence of the land.

The wine shows malolactic fermentation- so witness a creaminess to the sparkle. This is not one for clean and crisp experiences. Love creaminess you’ll love this
