    • Description

      We are one of the rare Houses producing Rosé by the saignée method. Several days of maceration give this cuvée an intense colour marked by the Pinot Noir. On the nose there are hints of red fruits and violet with a lightly spiced note. Receiving only a light dosage, on the palate it is remarkably expressive and extremely fresh, with a subtle trace of liquorice in the finish.

      This Rose embodies eight generations of Drappier family heritage caring for the historic grape veriety, Pinot Noir. The Champagne offers vibrant pink nuances and the aromatic fruity profile following a gentle maceration.

      Very well structured, with exemplary purity of red fruits. A striking Champagne on the nose offering similar sensations on the palate. Generous and satiny, lightly spiced with balanced hints of stoned fruits thanks to a lovely freshness in the finish.

      Ideal as an aperitif. Perfect with antipasti, salmon en papillotte, grilled pink lamb, strawberry salad.

    Champagne Drappier

    Based in the Urville region of Champagne, Drappier is something of a cult classic producer. Although you may not have never heard of the tightknit family winery, they're favourites to many - including, famously, the late, great Charles de Gaulle, who moved as close as he could to the winery in his retirement. Though Drappier was founded in 1808, the vines were planted and the cellars were built around Clairvaux Abbey by Saint Bernard and the Cistercian monks during the 12th Century. These cellars, some of the few that survived two World Wars, are among the oldest and most extensive in Europe today. Today, Drappier is one of the finest boutique producers in the world. Famous for making high quality wines with limited intervention and minimal sulphur, their small yields of fruit promise a premium expression of some prime Champagne real estate.
