It is presented in a moulded bottle inspired by the house's old flasks. For 2016, the blend is based on a large majority of Pinot Noir, completed by Chardonnay, with part of the wines aged in oak, which brings a creamy texture and a touch of vanilla. The jeroboam holds 3 litres, the equivalent of four bottles. Like all large formats, it ages the wine more slowly thanks to a lower ratio of air to wine, and it always makes an occasion of the moment it is served.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey facts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France, Champagne, Côte des Bar, Urville\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Champagne Drappier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mostly Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, a touch of Meunier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e low, about 5.5 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300 cl (jeroboam, 3 L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Violet and blackcurrant from the Pinot Noir, vanilla notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creamy texture, deep fruit, long finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it at around 7 to 8 °C: allow a good hour in a large bucket of iced water.
