NV Drappier "Carte D'Or" Brut, Champagne, FranceABOUT THE WINE Carte dOr is the signature cuve of Drappier, composed predominantly of Pinot Noir, which gives the wine its distinctive depth, structure, and fruit forward characteruncommon for many Champagnes that lean more heavily on Chardonnay. The nose opens with orchard fruits, quince, and hints of freshly baked bread, while the palate reveals a supple texture, fine bubbles, and a harmonious balance between ripeness and freshness. Sourced

Pere is a very small domain focused on estate-bottling

this Barbera pairs beautifully with traditional Piemontese cuisine—tajarin with ragù

followed by additional bottle aging before release

Vinified by climat with little to no sulfur and bottled unfined and unfiltered

she would return to her family terrain to make great wines

yet deeply intuitive—focused on soil health

to the land and to our wonderful community

The grapes were harvested by hand

Its generous body is supported by fine-grained tannins and a balanced freshness that promises graceful evolution over the next decade or more

fine crustaceans such as prawns or oysters are suggested

Only after aging on the lees for at least 2 years will this Franciacorta express all its richness and identity

It is in the absence of adulteration and manipulation that the natural layers of a wine can unfold and achieve its greatest phenolic potential
