살구색 컬러. 다른 샴페인에 비해 토스티함이 약하나 과실향이 더 강함. 사과, 배 향이 두드러짐. 산도는 중간 보다 약간 높은 정도. fizzy 함은 다른 샴페인에 비해 약함. (489 views) | | | Tasted by cristalmania0813 on 2/10/2024: fresh

(877 views) | | | Tasted by Tobinski on 9/9/2023: Disgorged 09/2021. 4g dosage. 75% Pinot Noir, 10% Pinot Meunier, 10% Chardonnay, 5% Blanc Vrai.
Very dark honeyed color. Rich and juicy red apple with potpourri spices and a lot of energy. A dense and vivid Champagne. (886 views) | | | Tasted by bitdrerik on 5/27/2023 & rated 90 points: Eðalklúbburinn í Búrgundarhéraðinu.; 5/21/2023-5/27/2023 (Búrgundarhéraðið.): Fjögurra þrúgna vín: Pinot noir, pinot meunier, chardonnay og blanc vrai.
Ljóst á litinn, örlítið bleikir tónar. Í ilminum fundum við brauð og ger og ekki mikið annað. Miklu meira var svo að garast í bragðinu. Brauð og ger til að byrja með en svo duttu inn epli, og marsípan. Í eftirbragði komu smá beiskir tónar en ekkert til að draga úr upplifuninni. Fínt jafnvægi á vininu og sýran fín. Mikill ferskleiki. Flott vín. (1212 views) | | | Tasted by adnorthup on 2/24/2023: A blend of 75% Pinot noir, 10% Meunier, 10% Chardonnay, & 5% Blanc Vrai (pinot Blanc) disgorged in June 2022 with 4 g/l dosage. The Pinot noir comes through a lot of front in the form of ripe apple, topped by a floral spice note (something I usually associate with pinot Blanc).
Air brings out more vibrancy in the fruit and the spice not moves to the back with the perfect amount of acid. This is really really good for a price. (1118 views) | | | Tasted by juneryu on 1/14/2023: 이요이요
부드러우면서도 산뜻한 느낌 (765 views) | | | Tasted by maxima on 1/14/2023 & rated 90 points: Bu lors du réveillon du jour de l'an.
Super vif, bien droit et ciselé.
Belle précision, sur le zeste,
la brioche et du silex. Hyper franc et bien sec.
Assez long en finale qui laisse le palais propre.
Superbe. (1499 views) | | | Tasted by mattyboy_ on 12/27/2022 & rated 92 points: Pleasantly surprised - really loved it. Mostly red fruited - assemblage is predominantly Pinot. You can taste the quality of the grapes here - I believe all organic/bio. A step in the right direction for this Champagne House. (710 views) | | | Tasted by 3daywinereview.com on 9/13/2022 & rated 93 points: Rocking tonight. Rose petals, unripe strawberries, minerals, spice and chalk. Complex wine and long finish. Awesome! (866 views) | | | Tasted by streethawk on 12/25/2021: Really inviting nose, with lots of pastry and apples. Reminds me an apple pie that was made using unripe apples. Palate is fresh and lifted. A bit sour and short. Could improve with age and the price is quite good. Very good. (835 views) | | | Tasted by Francois Le Mouel on 9/26/2021 & rated 93 points: Fantastic QPR (around $60) from Côte des Bar. A Blend of Pinot Noir (75%), Chardonnay (10%), Pinot Meunier (10%) and Vrai Blanc (5% - a variety of Pinot Blanc). Beautiful colour with salmon nuances. Very expressive and distinctive nose with mineral, brioche and earthy aromas - a bold, but still refreshing version of Champagne. A buy if you can find it! (1233 views) | | | Tasted by nadecesse on 8/21/2021 & rated 89 points: Bouquet qui possède présence avec viennoiseries et citrons confits/frais. La mousse est abondante à l'ouverture et le corps ample de concentration moyenne évoque principalement la pomme granny smith. Le dosage est mesuré (4g/l) apportant rondeur sans réelle sucrosité mais reste somme toute perceptible. La finale est longue et parfumée. Pas le NV le plus abouti mais loin d'être faible, je crois préférer toutefois de peu le Brut Nature mais ce Clarevallis reste tout à fait recommandable. 89-90 (900 views) | | | Tasted by fc1910 on 12/28/2020: Never have seen this bottle from Drappier before,
always remember the one 1959 bottle!
I hate this labeling: no carbon footprint, are we talking about wine or about what? Horse plowed partly!
Maybe it is more harmonic for everybody on the palate to use less sulfur, but the goal is
A L W A Y S the liquid in the glass!
So this is from limestone floor, 75% PN, 10% PM, 10% Chard, 5% Blanc Vrai,
a lot of minerals here, full of lime, lime and more lime, very fresh and dry on the palate, needs some air to come more together, zesty still, good grip and with a light- maybe mid body,
most impressing is the freshness here, will pair the rest of this bottle with some meat soon, long+,
would recommend to keep this in your cellar for some 3+ years,
*(**-****), around 91(+) potential (1428 views) | | | Tasted by whits on 12/19/2020 & rated 90 points: Seashell and pear on the nose, engages the palate with crispy apple, lemon and mineral, refreshingly clean, deeply grounded in stony mineral, great quality, a perfect match with lobster ravioli with garlic lemon butter sauce (649 views) |

Michel Drappier is the seventh generation of the Drappier family. The family stretches back to the draper Rémy Drappier, who was born in 1604, but it was not until 1808 that François settled in Urville, in the south of Champagne, where Cistercian monks had settled in the 12th century. When Georges Collot, the maternal grandfather of Michel Drappier, planted his first Pinot vines in the 1930s, the neighboring winegrowers laughed at him, calling him “Father Pinot”. André and Micheline carried forward the style established by “Father Pinot” and created the prestige cuvée Carte d’Or in 1952.
Although the vines in Urville were originally planted by the Romans 2000 years ago, it was Saint Bernard, founder of Clairvaux Abbey, who had our cellars built in 1152.
Seven centuries later, in 1808, around this magnificently preserved testimony to medieval times, where the exceptional cuvées slumber, the family domaine was created which today is headed by Michel Drappier. An area in which Pinot Noir thrives, a grape variety which “runs through our veins”, Urville lies where our vineyard was first planted and is now cultivated according to organic and natural principles.
Just like the “archives” plotting the long history of our house, we also continue to cultivate forgotten and nevertheless unforgettable grape varieties: Arbane, Petit Meslier and Blanc Vrai.
Today, rather than sophisticated, sometimes overdone excellence, we prefer authenticity and a natural approach.
Thanks mainly to very low quantities of dosage and extremely limited use of sulphites, of which the Brut Nature Without Sulphur cuvée is the culmination, we are able to highlight the multifaceted aspects of our terroirs and our wine-making.
Champagne Blend"Champagne blend" is a classic grape blend that typically includes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and/or Pinot Meunier in any proportions.
However, this blend can also include Arbane, Fromenteau (Pinot Gris), Petit Meslier and/or Pinot Blanc as well.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

France - When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of consistent quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them. Click for a list of bestselling items from all of France.
Sub-Region:
Champagne - The French region of Champagne (including the cities of Rheims, Épernay, and Aÿ) was the first region in the world to make sparkling wine in any quantity. Today, the name of the region is synonymous with the finest of all sparkling wines, and wine-making traditions of Champagne have become role models for sparkling wine producers, worldwide. Surprisingly, the region of Champagne is now responsible for only one bottle in 12 of all sparkling wine produced. Styles of champagne range in sweetness ranging from an extra brut or brut 0, to the basic brut to demi sec to doux; some houses produce single vintage champagnes and others produce non-vintage (or incorporate wines/grapes of multiple vintages), often to preserve a specific taste; combinations of grape varietals; and colors, including a rosé. There are several sub-appellations, including the Valley of the Marnes river running from Épernay west, Massif de Saint-Thierry north and west of Rheims, Valley of the Ardre, the Mountains of Rheims (between Rheims and Épernay), Côte des Blancs, Côte de Sézanne, and Côte des Bar in the South. Champagne wine only uses three grape varietals (cépages): Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.ChampagneThe vineyards of Champagne on weinlagen-info |
