🌎 CHAMPAGNE DRAPPIER Perpétuité, Coteaux Champenois 2018

By definition Perpetuity “is the state or quality of lasting forever.”  Here Drappier aim to just do that. A wine barrel receives an ever lasting top up of new wine each year to reinvigorate the blend of previous vintages. Complementing each vintage. Almost like the sherry systems in Spain - this Solera system contains 13 wines, from 2002 to 2018. 

It’s where young meets old. Wise meets the naive. Given time the two can be symbiotic. Characteristics merge to form a distinctive experience. So many analogies I could use but you get the idea. A taste is formed over time.  

What’s even more interesting is that the wine is produced with 100% Pinot Noir and is white in colour. Pinot noir skin is red. It’s flesh its white.
