Champagne Drappier Pinot Noir Brut Nature Zéro Dosage NV
Côte des Bar, Champagne, FranceThe Drappier family has been actively buying vineyards since 1808, giving them over 100 hectares today, including 15 certified organic. Based in the Aube, they are rightfully Pinot Noir centric, with vineyards primarily located around Urville and its kimmeridgian soils. Three generations of the family work in the winery today, and Michel was one of the first pioneers to release a Zero Dosage Champagne more than 30 years ago. They're continuing to push boundaries today, being the first to grow all 8 approved Champagne grapes, including the new hybrid Voltis. This Brut Nature is entirely Pinot Noir, stainless fermented with full MLF, and into bottle without filtration, where it spent 36 months on lees. I'm not sure of the base year (hence my NV note) but my bottle was disgorged November 2023. Rainier cherry, red apple, brioche is cut with a lemon peel acidity, which streams this through the biscuity finish. The structure of the pinot noir is certainly well suited to the limestone soils here, yielding welcome elbows and edges to this 0D wine.Tasted: 10 July 2025Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| QC | $62.75 | 750ml | SAQ |
