Description
Introducing the Drappier Brut Nature Immersion, an exquisite two-bottle set that offers a captivating experience, showcasing both the regular Brut Nature Champagne and a bottle that has undergone a unique aging process in the sea.
Intriguingly, the House of Drappier embarked on a remarkable experiment on October 4, 2020, immersing 3495 bottles of Champagne in the pristine waters of the Bay of Lannion, situated in the Cotes d'Armor off Brittany, France. Placed at a depth of 31 meters, the bottles enjoyed an environment with ideal conditions for aging: a constant temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, darkness, and an optimal level of pressure that minimized the loss of fizz during the aging process. These natural underwater elements near Brest in Brittany served as the perfect substitute for conventional storage, and remarkably, no energy consumption was required for this ingenious aging project, a testament to Drappier's forward-thinking approach in Champagne production.
Fast forward to the summer of 2022, and 1368 of these carefully immersed bottles were delicately brought back to the surface, one of which is included in this very set.
As you savor the Drappier Immersion Set, elegantly presented in a gift box, you will delight in the opportunity to indulge in a comparative tasting. Both bottles are of the same champagne, but one has matured gracefully in the depths of the sea, while the other resided in the renowned Drappier cellars in Urville. This extraordinary journey provides a unique chance to explore the nuances of aging in two distinct environments, offering wine enthusiasts an unforgettable and enlightening sensory experience.
With the Drappier Brut Nature Immersion Set, you can raise a toast to innovation and craftsmanship, celebrating the seamless fusion of tradition and forward-looking vision in the world of Champagne.
