DrappierCuvée Clarevallis Bottle (0.75L) | Naked Bottle
Drappier Cuvée Clarevallis takes its name from the Latin name of the Abbey of Clairvaux built by Saint Bernard. He introduced Pinot Noir to the region, vinifying and maturing wines in the Abbey’s cellars. The same cellars that now belong to the Drappier Champagne House.

The Drappier vineyard covers 100 hectares and represents the essential asset of the Champagne House’s vintages. Since 1808, the family has been able to select particularly well exposed and extremely chalky plots, mostly located around Urville, where the Pinot Noir grape finds its most beautiful expression and allows the production of very elegant aromatic wines.
A golden grey colour, a very fine and persistent foam.
On the nose
Notes of elderberry and violet. Chalky minerality rounded by the pulp of the Pinot.
In the mouth
A tension in the mouth balanced by a discreet dosage on the flavours of lovely bitters.
Ideal as an aperitif or at the table, with marinated fish, such as a ceviche of sea bream and grapefruit. Delicious with a fresh summer salad, langoustine and crisp vegetables. Perfect with veal blanquette, risotto, chicken fricassee or sole a la plancha.
Serve at 7 °C.
Like all wines, champagne can be kept for varying lengths of time, depending on the type. Under optimal storage conditions, champagne can be kept for 1 to 2 years for Brut cuvées, and up to 4/5 years or even longer for vintage and prestige champagnes. Whatever happens, rest assured that you'll never be able to open your champagne too early, as the Champagne Houses only release their cuvées when they have reached perfect ripeness and are ready for immediate consumption.
