Drappier Brut Nature San Soufre Champagne Zero Dosage Zero Sulfur
This is a pure and distinctive Champagne: zero added sugar ( Brut Nature / zero dosage ), and no sulfur added (sans soufre). That means you taste the grape, the terroir, and the finesse of cellar aging more than any added sweetness or preservative character. It’s dry, lively, mineral-etched, and perfect for anyone wanting an un-varnished expression of Pinot Noir from Champagne. Best enjoyed with refreshment and keen attention to detail.
"Ripe berry and floral notes on the nose ride the palate's lacy texture, along with flavors of almond biscotti and lemon pith, with a chalky underpinning. Racy and refreshing, but harmonious overall." Wine Spectator 92 Points
"Light yellow. Vibrant quince, orange zest and green apple aromas are complemented by smoky minerals and honeysuckle. Stony, sharply focused citrus and orchard fruit flavors show very good energy, turning juicier and deeper with air and picking up a melony quality and a hint of anise. Finishes on intense notes of dusty minerals and ginger, with very good clarity and persistence." Vinous 91 Points
Very fresh nose, evoking pear, lemon and hazelnuts. On the palate, a very dry, mineral Champagne bursting with life. It will delight enthusiasts and purists on the lookout for new tastebud sensations.
Recommended for those allergic to sulphur.
Origins & Craftsmanship
-
House & Region: Produced by Champagne Drappier, based in Urville in the Côte des Bar (Champagne). Drappier is well known for organic / low-sulfur practices and for pushing toward “natural” Champagnes.
-
Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir for this cuvée.
-
Winemaking:
• First-pressed juices only (“premier pressings”) and low pressure mechanical press to preserve delicacy.
• Settling / clarification by natural means, use of gravity rather than heavy pumping to avoid oxidation.
• Natural malolactic fermentation.
• Aged “on the lees” for at least ~24 months (some sources say 24 months minimum) to build texture and complexity.
• Zero dosage (no sugar added after disgorgement).
• No sulfur dioxide added at any stage (“sans soufre / no added sulfur”).
• Bottled unfiltered.
Tasting Profile
| Element | Notes |
|---|---|
| Colour / Appearance | Pale / light yellow with possible subtle golden tones; brisk fine mousse; clear and fresh in the glass. |
| Nose / Aroma | Bright orchard fruit (pear, green apple), citrus zest (lemon, possibly grapefruit), hints of quince or pear, some floral nuances; also subtle nutty or hazelnut tones; mineral / chalky notes from terroir. |
| Palate / Taste | Very dry, crisp, tight; flavors of lemon pith, orchard fruit, green apple; mineral backbone (chalk, wet stone), good acidity; the texture from lees aging gives creaminess or roundness despite the dryness. As it opens up, maybe some orchard/stone fruit sweetness, melon hints with air. |
| Finish | Clean and lingering; mineral and chalky, citrus peel and fruit echo, possibly a touch of almond or biscuit crumbs; with good persistence and clarity. |
Food Pairings
Here are foods and serving suggestions that work especially well with this Champagne:
-
Seafood & Shellfish: Oysters, raw scallops, crab, shrimp — anything that benefits from crisp acidity and minerality.
-
Sashimi / Sushi: Clean, fresh raw fish; subtle flavors won’t be overwhelmed.
-
Light Appetizers: Delicate cheeses (goat cheese, chèvre), light pâtés, blanched vegetables with simple seasoning.
-
Citrus / Fruit & Nuts: Pear or apple slices, citrus zest, or almond-based small bites.
-
Herbal & Floral: Dishes with mild herbal dressings (herbs like tarragon, chive), or edible flowers.
Serve very well chilled (classic Champagne temperature). Because there is no sugar, the wine’s freshness and minerality will really stand out with low-fat, subtly flavored foods.
