Champagne Drappier Blanc de Blancs Brut NV

Primarily cultivated on the Jurassic Kimmerdigian limestone soil of the Côte des Bar, the Chardonnay expresses itself with a distinctive minerality. A touch of Blanc Vrai complements this unique Blanc de Blancs with a hint of generosity, common to all Drappier cuvées.

TASTING

The nose brings to mind white peach and pear but also more floral notes such as peony. On the palate a mineral Champagne, lightly biscuity, creamy, supple, seductive.
