Champagne Drappier Rosé de Saignée Brut 12% vol. 0.75 l
£49.62
Drappier Champagne Rosé de Saignée Brut 12% vol. in a 0.75-litre bottle is an expressive rosé champagne that impressively reflects the signature style of the long-established Champagne Drappier house. The family-run winery, whose roots date back to 1808, is based in Urville in the heart of the Côte des Bar and enjoys an excellent reputation for authentic, terroir-driven champagnes with a high proportion of Pinot Noir. This Rosé de Saignée is made exclusively from 100% Pinot Noir and produced using the traditional saignée method, in which the colour and aromas are extracted through a two-day maceration period.
The grapes come from the distinctive Kimmeridgian limestone soils of Jurassic origin in Urville and are cultivated according to the principles of sustainable and natural viticulture. Following cold maceration of the destemmed grapes, gentle pressing takes place using a low-pressure plate press. Vinification is carried out exclusively by gravity, followed by natural pre-clarification, malolactic fermentation and unfiltered, unfined bottling. Around 5 per cent of the base wines are aged in large wooden barrels, which adds depth without masking the freshness. The low sulphur content emphasises the natural character of this elegant rosé Champagne, which delights with its structure, purity and finesse.
Tasting NoteIn the glass, the Champagne Drappier Rosé de Saignée Brut displays an intense rosé hue with a fine, persistent perlage. On the nose, expressive aromas of fresh red fruits unfold with remarkable clarity and intensity. On the palate, the champagne is generous, silky and superbly structured, with notes of ripe red berries, subtle spicy notes and delicate hints of stone fruit. The finish is fresh, elegant and pleasantly long-lasting.
Residual sugar: 5.5 g/l
Champagne Drappier Rosé de Saignée Brut is ideal as an elegant aperitif and pairs beautifully with antipasti, salmon baked in parchment, pink-grilled lamb or a summery strawberry salad. This rosé champagne also reveals its full class when paired with refined starters and festive menus. Served at a temperature of around 7 °C, its freshness, structure and aromas are shown to their best advantage.
