The grapes are gently pressed, vinified by gravity, without filtration and with very little sulphur, for a vinous, fruity, low-dosage champagne. The magnum holds 1.5 litres, the equivalent of two bottles. It is the format connoisseurs prefer: as the volume of air under the cork is proportionally smaller, the wine evolves more slowly and more harmoniously, and gains finesse over time.\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\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir 80%, Chardonnay 15%, Meunier 5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e low, around 5 to 6 g\/L according to the house's technical sheets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgeing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40% reserve wines, a small portion aged in oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 cl (magnum, 1.5 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 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it at around 7 to 8 °C, after placing it in the fridge for a few hours or for half an hour in a bucket of iced water.

The champagne keeps its freshness longer and gains finesse, and the format is ideal for a table of eight to ten people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is Maison Drappier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1808 in Urville, in the Côte des Bar, Maison Drappier is a family house now run by Michel Drappier and his children. A recognised Pinot Noir specialist, it grows its vines on the Kimmeridgian limestone of the Aube and ages its wines in 12th-century Cistercian cellars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is the bottle shipped?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery is free in France for orders from €300.
