The Drappier Millesime Exception 2018 champagne aims to capture the essence of the four seasons in a single year, distilled into a glass. Behind this cuvée lies the climate of a remarkable, exceptional year, with the terroir taking a backseat to the changing seasons.

This champagne is a blend of 66% Pinot Noir and 34% Chardonnay grapes grown in Jurassic Kimmeridgian limestone soil, using sustainable and organic methods. The vinification process employs mechanical low-pressure presses, using only the first press, gravity clarification, natural settling, and malolactic fermentation without filtration. Sulphite additions are kept very low. Before bottling, 100% of the wine is matured in oak barrels, and the champagne is aged on the lees for an impressive 4 years. The final dosage is 5.5 grams per liter.

On the nose, this champagne reveals a highly complex and rich bouquet, hinting at citrus fruits, bread, nuts, and almonds. A touch of vanilla showcases the high proportion of Chardonnay, while the depth of Pinot Noir expresses itself through red fruits, blackcurrant, and vinous aromas.

It is recommended to serve Drappier Millesime Exception 2018 at 7°C. It is a perfect choice for an aperitif or to accompany traditional dishes such as blanquette de veau, risotto, or grilled Dover sole.
