Description

The Carte d'Or magnum from Champagne Drappier is a cuvée of remarkable elegance and finesse. Reflecting the terroirs of the Côte des Bar, it is a fruity and slightly vinous champagne. Embodying the Drappier family's expertise, this fresh and intense champagne is perfect as an aperitif.

The production of the Carte d'Or Drappier magnum

This magnum of Carte d'Or is the result of a blend dominated by 80% Pinot Noir, the estate's flagship grape variety, which gives it structure and richness. Chardonnay (15%) adds a touch of finesse, while Meunier (5%) adds a hint of roundness. This blend of grape varieties comes from vines planted on the limestone soils of the Jurassic Kimmeridgian in the Aube region, which give the wine a distinctive minerality and unique aromatic intensity.

This champagne is made exclusively from the first pressing to guarantee the purity of the juice. Vinification takes place in stainless steel vats to preserve freshness, but a small portion (5%) is aged in oak barrels, adding subtle complexity to the aromatic profile. A significant proportion of reserve wines, up to 40%, is blended in, offering remarkable depth. The balanced dosage of 6.5 g/L enhances the freshness and intensity of the cuvée.

The advantages of the magnum

The magnum is a particularly popular format for champagne, as it allows for slower, more harmonious aging, preserving freshness and developing the aromas in all their complexity. Ideal for special occasions and moments of sharing, it serves around 15 flutes.
