Guide VERON des Champagnes 2017
(around
61 euros per bottle)
Original and luxurious bottle.
Aspect:
Golden,
dense and brilliant.
Fine
bubbles.
Refined
and regular bead of foam.
Nose:
Generous
from the first nose, thanks to the very low dosage of sulphur during
production.
Heady
harmony of yellow and white fruits, exotic fruits and white flowers, inimitable
signature of the Chardonnay (25%), and of the three lost varietals (25% of
Arbanne, 25% of Petit Meslier and 25% of Blanc Vrai), carefully selected in the
terroir of Urville.
Radiant
maturity, with its scents of honey underlined by delicate spices, due to three
years of ageing on laths of the bottles, reinforced by the maturation of the
expedition liqueur in oak barrels (only 4 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement).
Palate:
Pure
opening, result of the rigorous selection of the first juices during the
pressing of the grapes, enhanced by the bright minerality.
The
delicious tension takes us into a remarkable complexity, obtained by the
intervention of the natural yeasts of the grapes during the alcoholic
fermentation of the base wines in vats, at low temperature (15°C).
Deliciously
lively finish.
Impressive
length on the palate.
With
this cuvée Quattuor, Michel Drappier,
its producer, was able to vinify with gentleness, without pumping nor
filtration, rare varietals, to offer us a white Champagne from four unique
white varietals.
To taste from aperitif to meal, to accompany a pot of scallops with
seafood cream, for example.
Independent Champagne House from Urville since 1808, today directed by
Michel Drappier soon joined by his children, Charline, Hugo and Antoine, eighth
generation, the Champagne House Drappier tries its hardest to cultivate the 57
hectares of its vineyard in the greatest respect of the environment. A natural
and controlled oenology allows to produce around 1.5 million bottles of genuine
Champagnes per year, variations inspired around the noble terroirs of Champagne.
