Description
Drappier Brut Nature Sans Ajout De Soufre is a champagne that stands out for its purity and natural expression. This wine is a perfect example of Drappier's philosophy, which focuses on reducing sulphites in its champagnes. This particular one has no sulphites added during the different stages of vinification, allowing the Pinot Noir, its only varietal, to express itself freely. Michel Drappier was one of the pioneers in launching a zero dosage Champagne more than 30 years ago, which underlines the long tradition and experience in creating this type of wine.
Winemaking
The vinification process of Drappier Brut Nature Sans Ajout De Soufre is meticulous and carefully controlled to preserve the purity and quality of the Pinot Noir. Only the juices from the first press, known as cuvées, are used and low-pressure mechanical presses are employed to prevent oxidation. Natural fining and alcoholic fermentation are carried out at low temperature for approximately two weeks, followed by full, natural malolactic fermentation. No sulphur is added and the wine is not filtered, thus maintaining its authentic and natural character.
Blending is done with 100% tank-aged wines to preserve freshness. After bottling, the champagne is aged for at least 3 years in rhyme, which contributes to its complexity and character.
Taste
In terms of taste, Drappier Brut Nature Sans Ajout De Soufre is characterised by its freshness and aromas of pear and lemon. In the mouth, it is mineral and lively, offering an intense and exciting taste experience. The natural and complete malolactic fermentation softens its aromas, adding complexity to its profile. This Brut Nature is ideal to enjoy as an aperitif at a temperature of 7°C, but it also goes perfectly with seafood dishes or fresh goat's cheese.
Drappier Brut Nature Sans Ajout De Soufre is a champagne that represents excellence in viticulture and winemaking, offering a pure and authentic Pinot Noir experience. Its focus on naturalness and minimal intervention during production make it an exceptional choice for those seeking a champagne of extreme purity, distinctive character and a rich and exciting story behind its creation.
