Drappier

Coffret Immersion Carte d'Or | Bottle 75cl - Wooden case

Description

The Drappier house has brought together two bottles of their famous Carte d'Or cuvée in this boxed set. Two very different versions: the first aged in the house's Cistercian cellars, while the second was submerged in the sea for 2 years.

On October 4, 2020, Drappier immersed 3,495 bottles at a depth of 31 meters in the Bay of Lannion, Côtes d'Armor.

At a temperature and darkness identical to those in the cellar, but at a depth that compresses the gases, the submerged bottles are rocked by the tides.

In the summer of 2022, 1,368 bottles of Carte d'Or were brought to the surface!

Drappier's Carte d'Or is a fruity, slightly vinous, fresh champagne. It's an ideal cuvée for cocktails and aperitifs.

The blend is essentially based on Pinot Noir (80%), which brings structure and fruity aromas, complemented by Pinot Meunier (5%) for a touch of suppleness, and Chardonnay (15%) for freshness and elegance.

This champagne has a golden color with coppery highlights.

The nose is very elegant, with notes of stone fruits such as white vine peach. After a few moments, it evolves towards more gourmet pastry aromas.

A spicy note heralds a powerful, complex palate. This vinous champagne is highly complex, with a characteristic touch of quince jelly.

This Carte d'Or cuvée from Maison Drappier is ideal as an aperitif, but will also find its place at the table alongside white meat, firm-fleshed fish or Chaource cheese.
