Champagne Drappier Brut Nature rosé
Description
For lovers of pure sensations, Casa Drappier has created a 100% Pinot Noir cuvée without expedition liqueur, containing only the wine's natural residual sugar at less than 2 grams per bottle. In addition, the use of an absolute minimum of sulphur allows the wine the freedom to express itself fully, presenting itself as fresh, mineral, and pure. With aromas reminiscent of rose petals, red fruits, and citrus fruits, such as tangerine, harmonized with a spicy profile, highlighting white pepper, this Bruto Natural Rosé reveals another facet of rosé champagne.
The Drappier family tree can be traced back to the 17th century when Rémy Drappier was born in 1604, but it was not until 1808 that the family began to engage in vine growing and champagne production, when one of the Drappier family ancestors, François, settled in Urville. In 1988, deep cellars that had been dug around Reims during the reign of Napoleon III became the property of the family, and it is in these underground tunnels that the most valuable bottles of Drappier production are found, in particular the Grande Sendrée, which has been perfected over time.
Currently in the 8th generation of the family, the estate owns 62 hectares of its vineyard, together with another 50, operated by other farmers. The Drappier estate also includes some old orchards, a vegetable garden, and a farm, and has been awarded "Carbon Neutral" accreditation.
