Drappier
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.
Description
The Carte d’Or cuvée is the very expression of the Drappier style. With its very high proportion of Pinot Noir, one is almost tasting a Blanc de Noirs. Champagne with a fine aromatic richness, it opens with aromas of stoned fruits such as white vineyard peach. A spicy hint announces a powerful and complex palate. A vinous Champagne of lovely complexity with a characteristic note of quince jelly.
Food Pairing
At the table it goes with white meats, rolled fish fillets, Chaource cheese.
