Drappier

Carte d'Or | Magnum 150cl

Description

The Carte d’Or magnum from Champagne Drappier is a cuvée of remarkable elegance and great finesse. A reflection of the terroirs of the Côte des Bar, it is a fruity and slightly vinous champagne. Embodying the Drappier family's know-how, this fresh and intense champagne is perfect for an aperitif.

The Making of the Carte d’Or Cuvée Drappier in Magnum

This Carte d’Or magnum is the result of a blend dominated by 80% Pinot Noir, the king grape of the estate, which gives it structure and richness. The Chardonnay (15%) adds a touch of finesse, while the Meunier (5%) adds a hint of roundness. This marriage of grapes comes from vines planted on the calcareous soils of the Jurassic Kimmeridgian in the Aube, which give the wine a distinctive minerality and unique aromatic intensity.

This champagne is made exclusively from the first press to ensure the purity of the juices. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats to preserve freshness, but a small part (5%) is aged in oak barrels, adding a subtle complexity to the aromatic profile. A significant proportion of reserve wines, up to 40%, is integrated, offering remarkable depth. The balanced dosage of 6.5 g/L enhances the freshness and intensity of the cuvée.

The Advantages of the Magnum

The magnum is a particularly appreciated format for champagne, as it allows for slower and more harmonious aging, thus preserving freshness and developing aromas in all their complexity. Ideal for special occasions and moments of sharing, it allows serving about fifteen flutes.
