drappier quattuor iv blanc de quatre blancs
Reference: 10436Stock: 42 (stock immediately available)
Condition: bottle in perfect condition
although the vine was first planted in urville by the gallo-romans 2000 years ago, it was saint bernard, founder of the clairvaux abbey, who had these cellars built in 1152. seven centuries later, in 1808, it was around this medieval testimony, magnificently preserved, where the vintages sleep, that the family domain was created, directed today by michel drappier. home of the pinot noir, a grape variety that "runs in our veins", it is in urville that the vineyard was planted, cultivated according to organic and natural principles. as "archives" of the long history of this house, they also continue to cultivate forgotten and yet unforgettable grape varieties: fromenteau, arbane, petit meslier and blanc vrai. today, instead of sophisticated and sometimes overrated excellence, they prefer authenticity and naturalness. thanks in particular to a very low dosage and an extremely moderate use of sulfites, of which the brut nature sans soufre is the result, they highlight the multiple facets of their terroirs and their vinification. the latest release of drappier's nv brut blanc de quatre blancs quattuor—an unusual blend of arbanne, petite meslier, blanc vrai and chardonnay—opens in the glass with an attractive bouquet of honeycomb, crisp yellow orchard fruit, dried white flowers, marzipan and toasted walnuts. on the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, broad and crisply fleshy, with a deep core of fruit, an elegant pinpoint mousse and tangy balancing acids, concluding with a long, nutty finish. this is a terrific rendition of this rare bottling, and it's more than a mere curio; indeed, it's well worth seeking out.
