Drappier Champagne Carte d'Or Brut 12% Vol. in a 0.375 l bottle embodies the distinctive style of the long-established Champagne Drappier house, which has been family-owned since 1808. In Urville, at the heart of the Côte des Bar, champagnes are crafted that place authenticity, terroir and craftsmanship at the forefront. The Carte d’Or Brut is regarded as the house’s flagship and reflects the special significance of Pinot Noir, for which the region is renowned worldwide.


The blend consists of 80% Pinot Noir, 15% Chardonnay and 5% Meunier. Due to its exceptionally high proportion of Pinot Noir, this champagne is stylistically almost reminiscent of a Blanc de Noirs and impresses with its expressiveness and aromatic depth. The grapes are grown on calcareous soils containing Jurassic Kimmeridgian limestone and chalk, which lend the wines their characteristic minerality. Only the first pressing is used in production. Vinification is carried out particularly gently using gravity, followed by natural clarification and malolactic fermentation. The champagne is neither filtered nor deboured. Around 40% reserve wines provide additional complexity and consistency, whilst approximately 5% of the wines are aged in oak barrels. The low dosage of just 5 g/l emphasises the elegant and precise style of this Brut Champagne from France.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Drappier Carte d’Or Brut displays a luminous golden hue with a fine, persistent perlage. On the nose, intense aromas of white vineyard peaches and other stone fruits unfold. On the palate, this champagne is powerful, complex and vinous, with spicy notes and remarkable depth. Its harmonious structure is underpinned by an elegant freshness. The finish is long-lasting and characterised by delicate notes of quince jelly.

Residual sugar: 5 g/l

Champagne Drappier Carte d’Or Brut is ideal as a stylish aperitif and pairs excellently with white meat, veal or poultry.
