Drappier Cuvée 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.

Cuvée Clarevallis
“Inspired from Clairvaux, the Cistercian purity in a generous nature.” The Clarevallis cuvée, a certified organic champagne, is made from organically grown grapes on the Urville hillside, which was already planted in the Cistercian era. Clarevallis is the expression of the landscape and the land that man has nurtured since the 12th century.
Tasting Notes
A golden grey colour, a very fine and persistent foam.
Notes of elderberry and violet. Chalky minerality rounded by the pulp of the Pinot.
A tension in the mouth balanced by a discreet dosage on the flavours of lovely bitters.
Food pairings
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.
