France, Champagne Blanc de Noirs, Brut Nature, Zero Dosage Alc 12% by volume Bottle Size: 750ml Champagne Drappier Brut Nature André & Michel Pinot Noir Zero Dosage is made entirely...
Champagne Drappier Brut Nature André & Michel Pinot Noir Zero Dosage is made entirely from Pinot Noir in the Côte des Bar and bottled without dosage, allowing the fruit, acidity and mineral character of the wine to remain especially clear.
Red apple, pear and citrus are joined by vineyard peach, fresh herbs and subtle nutty notes. The palate is dry and precise, with fine bubbles, lively acidity and a distinctly mineral character that carries through the long, clean finish.
With no added dosage and only minimal use of sulfur, the wine offers a particularly direct expression of Pinot Noir. Despite the very dry style, the ripeness of the fruit gives enough texture and roundness to keep the Champagne balanced rather than austere.
I like this cuvée because it shows a different side of Pinot Noir in Champagne. There is structure and fruit, but also freshness and a very pure mineral character that makes the wine particularly appealing at the table.
Food Pairing: Pair with oysters, sashimi, sushi, seafood, smoked salmon, goat cheese, fried appetizers, or grilled white fish.
Serve around 46–50°F.
