Description
Drappier Rosé Nature champagne is a very pure expression of rosé. The nose evokes strawberries and raspberries, with a floral note of rose petals. On the palate, it offers red fruits, citrus notes, mandarin and a subtle, refined hint of white pepper.
In the vineyard, in the cellar
Drappier Rosé Nature champagne is a saignée rosé with a 3-day vatting period. Only first-press juices are used. Low-pressure mechanical presses. Gravity is used to avoid pumping, thereby preventing oxidation. Minimal use of sulphur. Natural settling. Alcoholic fermentation for around 2 weeks at low temperature. Followed by natural and complete malolactic fermentation. No filtration. 100% of the wine is aged in vats to preserve maximum freshness. After bottling, the cuvée is matured for 2 to 3 years on racks. Zero dosage.
Terroir, organic farming and natural methods
Environmental and climate protection is not merely a stance for the Drappier Champagne house. Organic production covers the bulk of the range, from non-vintage bruts to the grand cuvées. Furthermore, as Michel Drappier is intolerant to sulphur, he offers champagnes with minimal sulphur content. Notably, a completely sulphur-free brut nature.
