Drappier Champagne Carte d’Or Brut 12% vol. in a 0.75 l bottle is the flagship product of the long-established Champagne house Champagne Drappier and embodies the philosophy of the Drappier family, who have been running the estate since 1808. In Urville, in the heart of the renowned Côte des Bar, champagnes with an unmistakable character are produced, placing naturalness, authenticity and terroir at the forefront. The Carte d’Or Brut is regarded as the house’s flagship and impressively demonstrates the special significance of Pinot Noir in this region.


The cuvée consists of 80% Pinot Noir, 15% Chardonnay and 5% Meunier, resulting in a champagne that almost possesses the character of a Blanc de Noirs. The grapes are grown on the region’s typical Jurassic limestone and Kimmeridgian soils. Only the first pressings, known as the ‘cuvée’, are used in production. Vinification is carried out particularly gently using gravity, followed by natural clarification and malolactic fermentation. The champagne is neither filtered nor decolourised. Around 40% reserve wines ensure consistency and depth, whilst approximately 5% of the wines are aged in oak barrels. With a low dosage of just 5 g/l, this Brut Champagne is particularly precise, elegant and characterised by its terroir.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Drappier Carte d’Or Brut displays a luminous golden hue with a fine, persistent perlage. On the nose, it reveals an expressive bouquet of white vineyard peaches and ripe stone fruits. On the palate, this champagne is powerful, complex and distinctly vinous. Spicy nuances complement the fruity notes and lend additional depth. The finish is elegant, multi-layered and characterised by delicate notes of quince jelly.

Residual sugar: 5 g/l

The Drappier Carte d’Or Brut is ideal as an aperitif and pairs superbly with veal, poultry and firm-fleshed fish such as monkfish or turbot. This French champagne also pairs beautifully with the regional Chaource cheese, as well as delicate starters and elegant meals. Served at around 7 °C, it reveals its freshness and aromatic complexity to the full.
