Drappier Ros\u00e9 de Saign\u00e9e Brut NV<\/h3>\nGrape Varietal:<\/strong> 100% Pinot Noir
\nGrowing Region:<\/strong> Urville – France
\nOwner \/ Chef de Cave:<\/strong> Michel Drappier – *(7th Generation)\n\t\t\t\t\"Gavin-Wine-Review-4-Star-24-Sml-01\"\n\tI have fond memories visiting the Drappier family, who are in the Aube Valley in the C\u00f4te des Bar, which is located in the southern right-corner of the Champagne region. Eight generations of the Drappier family have been crafting Champagne since 1808, ageing their wines in ancient cellars that date back to 1152, when Saint Bernard had them built at the Clairvaux Abbey.
\nThe family for some time, have been dedicated to natural practices and low intervention vinification, which produce pure, expressive aromas, natural colours and elegantly textural wines. Drappier is also one of the few Champagne Houses to make their ros\u00e9 wine by the Saign\u00e9e method, with the colour, aromas and palate flavours coming from just 2 days of gentle cool skin contact, before being gravity drained off and natural settling, then vinification allowed to begin.
\nSaign\u00e9e Method – (is the gentle first pressing off red grapes; as the regular method is to add a small portion of red wine to a cuv\u00e9e before secondary fermentation). Saign\u00e9e Champagnes can have a richer character which makes them particularly ideal when served with cuisine. The juice went through malolactic fermentation, with no filtering. A portion of the wine was aged in used oak foudres, with minimal low levels of sulphites and aged for 30 months on its lees. In pursuit of authenticity and typicity, the Drappier family use the lowest possible levels of sulphur in their cuv\u00e9es. \n\u2605 <\/strong>An appealing vivid Ros\u00e9 style with a persistent medium-size bead articulating on both the nose and seamlessly traversing onto the palate vibrant and expressive summer red fruits, like wild raspberries, cherries, violets, lavender and a deft allspice note. This Drappier \u2018Saign\u00e9e\u2019 Ros\u00e9 is a well-structured style of Champagne, with a charming depth of character, an elegant textural nuance and its house signature of receiving only a light dosage, which ensures a refreshing mouthfeel, so you can enjoy those bright summer fruits on the finish. \n This Drappier Ros\u00e9 de Saign\u00e9e Brut NV has 12% Alc.\/Vol. – with a dosage of 6g\/L – *(no additional sulphur). Chill gently and served in a generous tulip shaped or aromatic wine glass at around 8\u00b0- 10\u00b0C. *NZ$95.00 \n A Saign\u00e9e Ros\u00e9 Champagne with a charming depth of character.<\/em>\n
