The 2004, a blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, rested about seventeen years on laths before being disgorged and dosed with a liqueur matured for twenty-five years in cask. The result is a complex champagne with a rich aromatic palette, whose very low dosage preserves a fresh, lasting finish.\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 2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir 70%, Chardonnay 30%\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 Pale straw yellow with slightly orange glints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich, yellow fruit, peach, nectarine and spices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Great complexity, orange peel, spices and toasty notes, fresh finish\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.

It also preserves forgotten Champagne grape varieties and presents itself as the first carbon-neutral Champagne house.\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.
