Its blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay rested more than sixteen years on laths, and its low dosage, made with a liqueur matured for twenty-five years in cask, preserves a mineral structure.\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 2005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir 60%, Chardonnay 40%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 g\/L, liqueur matured in oak casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 cl\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 Rich, candied fruit and dried flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dried fruit to the fore, freshness of linden and quince jelly, mineral structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it at around 9 to 10 °C, in a large white wine glass, and let it open up for a few minutes: an old champagne reveals itself with aeration.

Its Kimmeridgian limestone soils, close to those of Chablis, are particularly suited to Pinot Noir. It is there, in Urville, that Maison Drappier has been growing its vines since 1808.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is late disgorgement?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDisgorgement means expelling the yeast deposit before final corking. By delaying it for many years, the house lets the wine evolve in contact with its lees, protected from oxygen: it gains complexity while keeping its freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is the bottle shipped?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery is free in France for orders from €300.
