Brut Nature with no sulfur

Here Drappier has dispensed with two things at once: dosage and sulphur. The champagne is 100% Pinot Noir from the first pressing, and all that remains is the natural residual sugar of under 2 g. Despite the lack of liqueur d'expédition, it feels astonishingly round. Without sulphur, the wine shows unprotected what it is made of.

The nose is fresh and recalls pear, lemon and hazelnut. On the palate it is lively, straightforward and dry, yet mineral, fruity and vinous. This is a champagne for purists. Drappier recommends serving it very cold, at about 7 °C, in a white wine glass of medium size. It works as an aperitif and goes with seafood or sushi.
