NV Champagne Drappier Brut Nature (Kosher), Champagne, France

The Drappier Champagne Brut Nature is a distinguished Blanc de Noirs, meticulously crafted from 100% Pinot Noir. This Brut Nature Champagne omits the traditional "liqueur de dosage," resulting in a strikingly dry, yet exceptionally elegant and sophisticated profile. It boasts a vibrant straw color and entices with aromas of baked apple and fresh Meyer lemon, enriched by nuances of toasted bread and clove. Medium-bodied with a lively mousse and focused bubbles, it offers a harmonious blend of apple, pear, roasted hazelnuts, and crushed rocks, complemented by high acidity and a hint of crème fraîche that persists through a long, invigorating finish. Aged for 36 months on the lees, this Champagne exudes crisp, ripe fruit aromas and a clean, pure palate, bursting with finesse and freshness. Perfect as an aperitif, it pairs splendidly with sushi or soft goat cheese, showcasing its great purity and minimalistic approach to winemaking.
