DrappierVintage Exception 2012 Jeroboam (3L) | Wooden Case
The idea of the Exceptional Vintage is to put a season under glass. Beyond the wine itself, this cuvée reflects the climate of a remarkable, exceptional year. The terroir fades in front of the four seasons. Drappier Vintage Exception 2012 Jeroboam is a powerful, rich and complex champagne. Each Vintage is molded into the glass of the bottle, guaranteeing authenticity.
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 parcels, mostly located around Urville, where the Pinot Noir, which is in the majority, finds its most beautiful expression and allows the production of very elegant aromatic wines.
On the nose
The cuvée opens with rich, complex notes of citrus fruit, bread, hazelnuts and almonds.
In the mouth
On the palate, it starts with a clean, crisp attack, before rounding out on the mid-palate and offering its full range of aromas, with vanilla notes, a gourmet touch and fine vinosity.
Ideal as an aperitif or with a meal. 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.
