- A golden grey color, very fine, persistent bubbles. Elderberry and violet notes. The limestone minerality is softened by the pinot pulp. A harmonious balance between the discreet dosage and the lovely bitter flavors. The nose opens with floral violet and elderberry notes, giving way to flavors of berries and spiced orange on the palate. The ripe fruit is beautifully complemented by the moreish salinity that comes through on the finish.
The Drappier family estate was established around the magnificently preserved medieval Abbey. Today, it is managed by Michel Drappier and is used to store and age the exceptional wines he produces. We planted our vineyard in Urville, the terroir that welcomed the Pinot Noir grape variety that now runs in our veins and we manage it according to organic and natural practices. Our vineyards are like family archives that perpetuate our history. We grow heirloom grape varieties that deserve to be remembered: Fromenteau, Arbanne, Petit Meslier, and Blanc Vrai. While many seek to achieve sophisticated excellence, we prefer natural and authentic qualities. We also highlight the many facets of our terroirs through our vinification techniques: our low sugar dosage and moderate use of sulfites especially in the production of Drappier Brut Nature Sans Soufre.
Clarevallis is the name given by Saint Bernard to the abbey he founded in 1115 when he brought vines to the Aube region. The wines are vinified and aged in cellars built in 1152 by the monks from the abbey. Today the cellars are owned by the Drappier Family.
