Elegant and refreshing on the nose. Strong and intense flavors with aromas of pear, spices, vanilla. Finish with a slight nutty and toasted flavor.
An exclusive cuvee of 60% Pinot Noir, 10% Chardonnay, 30% Meunier. The grapes come exclusively from Grand Cru and Premier Cru: Cramant, Ay, Mareuil-sur-Ay.
Gentle squeezing at low pressure. Use of gravity to prevent pumping, which prevents oxidation. Natural settling. No filtration. Immediate malolactic fermentation at 18 °. After disgorging, the cuvées remain in the cellar for 3 months before shipment so that the dosage is fully integrated.

HISTORICAL DATA: La Maison Drappier, founded in 1808 by Patriarch Collot, maternal grandfather of the current owner Michel Drappier, is located in the Abbey of Clairvaux, founded by Cistercian monks in 1152 and characterized by ancient and marvelous vaulted cellars dating from the XII century. The vineyards, located in the proper territory of Urville, are cultivated according to biological principles and in some cases biodynamic. In addition to Pinot Noir, which gives all Drappier wines their unmistakable character, the house has carried out and continues a valuable work to recover and enhance the almost disappeared vines of Arbane, Petit Meslier and Blanc Vrai.
