Brut Nature, Sans Ajout de Soufre

Wine Description for Brut Nature Sans Ajout de Soufre by Drappier

Colour & Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a lively, fine-beaded mousse – a Champagne that already demonstrates its energy and purity in the glass.

Nose

Open, round and seductively inviting. The nose presents ripe golden apples, pears and quinces, underpinned by discreet notes of lanolin, apple skin and roasted almonds. A light smoky veil, delicate iodine minerality and hints of cherry and peach lend the nose remarkable complexity.

Palate

On the palate, the juicy, tender-fruited character of the nose is confirmed. Storage apple and apple cake dominate, complemented by subtle oxidative elements, a trace of wax and vibrant citrus notes. The texture is smooth, the acidity precise and invigorating – a Champagne with real backbone and aromatic fullness.

Finish

Fresh, generous and lingering. In the finale, a hint of white pepper and a touch of mandarin emerge – a lively, distinctive conclusion with good length.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Pinot Noir from the first pressing (Cuvée), gently mechanically pressed and gravity-fed into the tanks. Fermentation in stainless steel at low temperature, followed by complete, natural malolactic fermentation. No cold stabilisation, no filtration, no sulphur addition. Approximately three years on the lees impart depth and complexity to the wine. Dosage: Brut Nature.

Special Features

This Champagne is a testament to radical craftsmanship: without any sulphur addition, without technical intervention – and yet of impressive stability and expressiveness. Drappier proves that naturalness and Champagne elegance need not be contradictory. A Champagne for the curious and connoisseurs alike.
