Champagne Drappier
CLAREVALLIS Extra Brut

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

 

It is sourced from organic plots, and partly plowed by horse. In homage to his hymn to nature, Clarevallis is an extra-brut non-filtered cuvee with very little sulfites. The blend is dominated by Pinot Noir (75%) to which Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Blanc Vrai is added.

The grapes are selected from the 32 acre organically certified vineyard. Clarevallis embodies the landscape and the land that men and women have been cultivating there since the 12th century.
