The Clarevallis cuvée from Champagne Drappier is a tribute to the purity and authenticity of the Côte des Bar terroirs. Inspired by the Cistercian abbey of Clairvaux, this cuvée reveals beautiful minerality and a balanced structure. An organic cuvée, ideal for accompanying a refined aperitif or a delicate meal.
Michel Drappier created this cuvée as a tribute to Saint Bernard of Clairvaux. Clare Vallis is the name given by Saint Bernard to the abbey he founded in 1115. The abbot introduced Pinot Noir to the region and vinified and aged wines in the cellars of the abbey built in 1152. These cellars now belong to the Drappier house.
The Clarevallis cuvée is composed of 75% Pinot Noir, 10% Meunier, 10% Chardonnay, and 5% Blanc Vrai. The grapes come from the Jurassic Kimmeridgian limestone terroir of Urville, in the Côte des Bar. This unique soil brings a fine minerality and great freshness to the wine.
All the grapes are organically grown. These plots are cultivated using organic farming methods, and some are plowed by horse. The wine is made exclusively from the first pressing of the grapes, which is the purest and freshest part. Malolactic fermentation is carried out with organic yeasts from the estate. Unfiltered and uncolored, the wine is also extremely low in sulfites, thus preserving all its aromatic integrity. The dosage liqueur, aged for 15 years in oak barrels, adds a final touch with a discreet dosage of 4 g/l.
Clarevallis has a brilliant gray-gold color with a very fine, persistent mousse. This elegant color is reminiscent of the sobriety and purity of the Cistercian spirit.
On the nose, this cuvée reveals floral notes of elderflower and violet, accompanied by subtle minerality. There are also hints of fresh fruit and a slight woodiness.
On the palate, the attack is frank, with beautiful tension balanced by a discreet dosage. The structure of the wine expresses itself through lovely bitter flavors, with a texture rounded by the Pinot. The finish is elegant and mineral, revealing a true signature of the terroir.
The price of a bottle of Clarevallis Drappier is 48,50 €. This price reflects the attention to detail, respect for tradition, and exceptional quality of the grapes grown using organic farming methods.
