"Maison Drappier is a family-owned Champagne house founded in 1808, located in Urville, in the Côte des Bar, Champagne.
 
 
It is renowned for a style that highlights Pinot Noir, often in high proportion, and for careful viticulture with responsible practices (reduced sulfites, winemaking that respects the fruit and terroir).
 
 
Use of first-press juices (the finest) and gentle pressing. Natural settling, alcoholic fermentation at low temperature, and natural malolactic fermentation.
 
 
Nose : Intense and complex aromas of stone fruits (white peach, apricot), ripe yellow fruits, citrus (orange zest), subtle spices, sometimes brioche or pastry notes, with occasional hints of honey and quince jelly depending on the maturity of the grapes.
 
 
Palate : A lively, fresh attack with a vinous sensation due to the strong presence of Pinot Noir. Flavors of ripe fruits, dried fruits, and citrus appear. The texture is often generous, with roundness contributed by the oak-aged wine and reserve wines, offering excellent complexity.
 
 
About 5% of the wines in the blend are aged in oak, adding additional complexity."
