On 4 October 2020, some of the bottles were submerged at a depth of about 31 metres, at the Ar Pommellou site, in the Drappier family's marine concession off the Côtes-d'Armor, in Brittany. They stayed there for 646 days, in water between 8 and 13 °C, where the outside pressure, about 4 bar, balances that of the bottle. The other bottle aged in the Urville cellars. Underwater, the wine evolves more slowly, as it is less exposed to oxygen than in open air. This gift box invites you to compare the two versions of the same Pinot Noir-led champagne, almost a Blanc de Noirs.\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\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x 75 cl: 1 Immersion bottle aged under the sea, 1 comparison bottle aged in the cellar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir 80%, Chardonnay 15%, Meunier 5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 cl in total, in a wooden gift box\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 with coppery glints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stone fruit, vine peach, citrus, spicy touch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powerful and complex, vinous, characteristic note of quince jelly.
