Pinot Noir 80%, Chardonnay 15%, Meunier 5%

With a very high proportion of Pinot Noir one is savouring what is nearly a Blanc de Noirs. A Champagne of great aromatic richness. The taste begins with stone fruits such as white vineyard peaches. A spicy note emerges in a powerful and complex mouthfeel. A vinous Champagne of grand complexity, with a characteristic touch of quince jelly.

Ideal as an aperitif, with white meat, fish of firm character and texture, Chaource cheese.

The grapes are grown on limestone soil, Jurassic Kimmeridgian limestone and chalk, pressed at low pressure, using only the first pressing (the “Cuvée”), vinified by gravity, naturally settled, undergoing malolactic fermentation, non-filtered, and not discoloured.

Carte d’Or expresses the identity of Drappier house directed by the same family since 1808. In Urville, the heart of the Côte des Bar, they cultivate all that is natural and authentic in keeping with a great wine of Champagne.

The Champagne Drappier House has been making authentic wines for two centuries, known for their intense Pinot Noir aromas. General De Gaulle’s Champagne supplier, the Drappier House has always produced wines marked by freshness and fine effervescence. The family House is also known for its great vintage cuvée, the Grande Sendrée, which surprises with its refinement and aromatic complexity.
