Carte d’Or in a nutshell…

All the Drappier know-how

Almost a Blanc de Noirs

The Drappier vineyard covers 100 hectares and constitutes the House’s essential trump card.
Since 1808 our family has used its skill to select parcels of land which are particularly well exposed and extremely rich in limestone. For the most part they are located around Urville, where Pinot Noir, the predominant grape variety, finds its loveliest expression and allows the production of very elegant, aromatic wines.

Vinification of the Carte d’Or cuvée

Only the juices from first pressing – the cuvées – are used
Mechanical low-pressure presses
Use of gravity to avoid pumping, thus avoiding oxidisation

Natural settling

Alcoholic fermentation for roughly 2 weeks at low temperature
Then total and natural malolactic fermentation
No filtering
Minimal use of sulphur 5% of the wines are matured in barrels for 1 year to enrich the cuvée.

Dosage: 7 g/l

Tasting notes

The Carte d’Or cuvée is the very expression of the Drappier style. With its very high proportion of Pinot Noir, one is almost tasting a Blanc de Noirs. Champagne with a fine aromatic richness, it opens with aromas of stoned fruits such as white vine yard peach. A spicy hint announces a powerful and complex palate. A vinous Champagne
of lovely complexity with a characteristic note of quince jelly.

Serving suggestions

Ideal as an aperitif. At the table it goes with white meats, rolled fish fillets, Chaource cheese.
Serve at 7°C.

The vine, at the heart of the Drappier identity

Today, the family vineyard spans over 62 hectares, without including those under contractual arrangements with other growers.
The Drappier vineyard, mainly located in the village of Urville, maintains the strong identity of the Bar-sur-Aube arrondissement, characterised by the influence of Pinot Noir. This grape prevails here, representing 70% of the estate, supplemented by Pinot Meunier at 15%, Chardonnay at 9%, and old grape varieties at 6%.
