Champagne Drappier
CLAREVALLIS Extra Brut

The all new cuvée from Maison DRAPPIER is called Clarevallis, a tribute to the abbey of Clairvaux..

 

Clarevallis:

• • From its color, to the nose and in the way it echos on the palate: it is a surprise in the universe of Champagne
  • Taste of the champagne of yesteryear – a grower-Champagne by definition
  • The most structured and expressive NV Champagne from Drappier, Pinot Noir dominant with 5% Pinot Blanc (Blanc Vrai)
  • Blanc Vrai is used here as an amplifier: it amplifies the vinous character, the body, the length and the multiple-layers structure.
  • A 3.5g/l dosage aged for 15 years in oak

Blend:

• • 75% Pinot Noir
  • 10% Meunier
  • 10% Chardonnay
  • 5% Blanc Vrai.

Technical:

• • Organic farming.
  • Ecocert certification.

Vinification:

• • Only the first juices are selected.
  • Very low sulfur (20mg/l).
  • Dosage: 4 g/l.
  • 12% Alc.

Tasting Note: Very fine and persistent bubbles. Notes of elderberry and violet. Limestone minerality rounded off by the pulp of Pinot Noir dominating the blend. A tension in the mouth balanced by a discreet dosage and pretty bitters. Nice complexity. It is a fresh and very delicate champagne.

Drink: Now to 2025             Serve at: 45°F.
