The question that presents itself is why is the Cuvee so Special?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell, according to the President of Bollinger Bernard Phillipon, he explained that the 5 pillars that make it so special are;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. The vineyard, having fresh fruit to select from and keep consistency year on year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2. High proportion of pinot noir which is a part of the signature of this house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3. Use of oak barrels, all 3,500 of them which makes Bollinger the house with the most oak barrels in champagne (similar to Krug) and all ferments happen in oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4. About 50-60% reserve wines being used, and these have come from magnums. This is substantially important as most houses use barrels or stainless steel vates to store large amounts of reserve wine to blend into their wine. All magnums are listed, village by village. Think about that for a second... That's a lot of work and is uncommon in champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5. The last ingredient in making the Special Cuvée special is 'time'. 3 years on lees in barrel, magnum and bottle. The result is a mineral-driven, vinous style of champagne that yields richness in fruit from pinot and an underlying super fresh, citrus zing coming through.

Bollinger are well known for their dominance of the powerful and expressive pinot noir from Aÿ where they were founded, their use of magnums for production of all their wines and a traditional wine making style incorporating fermentation in oak barrels from which they have never deviated. They still have their own in-house cooper who makes and manages their stock of some 3,500 barrels! That equates to about 1 million bottles being fermented in barrel - that is the largest (along with Krug) of any other producer in the region.

The house is renowned for its elegant chardonnay lead style but as of recently the brut has been replaced by 'La Cuvee' a new flagship cuvee for the maison. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maison says that this new cuvee allows them to 'dial up their style' which is all about elegance, freshness and purity.

Some houses focus on the pinot noir grape in their champagnes which provides big, round and powerful cuvées and some houses focus on chardonnay which provides more mineral drive, citrus and elegance. If you prefer the latter, then perhaps consider a bottle of Laurent-Perrier as your 'go-to' entertaining wine. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis maison has a serious history but over the last 100 years has had a long line of influential women at its helm (\u003c\/span\u003eMathilde Emilie Perrier in 1812 and later in 1938 \u003cspan\u003eMarie-Louise Lanson de Nonancourt)\u003c\/span\u003e, and we cannot help but think that this has influenced the style – graceful, elegant and sophisticated.

With an annual production of some 1.5 million bottles, they are considerably larger than a small grower, but not quite of the size of the Grande Marques in and around Reims and Epernay. Drappier is one of the foremost producers in the region which is highly respected amongst its peers like Cédric Bouchard, Marie-Courtin, Vouette et Sorbée, and Jacques Lassaigne. They own 55 hectares of vineyards and use another 50 hectares under contract with other growers. A an interesting historical fact is that Charles de Gaulle (the Former Minister of the Armed Forces in France) was very fond of their Champagne and they named a cuvée after him.

They are located in the small village of Urville in the Côte des Bar where Pinot Noir, the predominant grape variety, finds its purest expression and allows the production of very elegant, aromatic wines. With an annual production of some 1.5 million bottles, they are considerably larger than a small grower, but not quite of the size of the Grande Marques in and around Reims and Epernay. Drappier is one of the foremost producers in the region which is highly respected amongst its peers like Cédric Bouchard, Marie-Courtin, Vouette et Sorbée, and Jacques Lassaigne. They own 55 hectares of vineyards and use another 50 hectares under contract with other growers. A an interesting historical fact is that Charles de Gaulle (the Former Minister of the Armed Forces in France) was very fond of their Champagne and they named a cuvée after him. Amongst their range of excellent cuvée’s, they have a range including a ‘Sulfur free’, ‘Zero dosage’, and a ‘blanc de blancs’ that contains a forgotten grape called Blanc Vrai.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp field=\"recipename\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003ePork cutlets and roasted potatoes, parsnips, and carrots.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-04-26T14:59:55+10:00","created_at":"2021-04-26T14:56:11+10:00","vendor":"Drappier","type":"Brut","tags":["375","Exclusive","half","Half Bottle","Low Sulphur","Mini","pre-order","Region: Urville","Size: 375ml","spo-default","spo-disabled","Taste: Aged 3 Years on Lees","Taste: Brioche","Taste: Grapefruit","Taste: Hazelnut","Taste: Honey","Taste: Malolactic Fermention","Taste: No Filtration","Taste: Orchard fruit","Taste: Pinot Noir Dominant","Taste: Stainless Steel Fermentation","Taste: Textural","Taste: Texture","Under $100","Year: NV"],"price":4500,"price_min":4500,"price_max":4500,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":39336034697325,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"DRAPPIER_DEMI","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Drappier Carte d'Or (375ml) - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":4500,"weight":3100,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":36,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"3469380631216","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Drappier-Carte-d_or-375ml-Emperor-Champagne_4cbe2385-14ea-4dec-a43e-8ff287490d64.jpg?v=1633562499","\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Drappier-Carte-d_or-375ml-Back-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1633562509"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Drappier-Carte-d_or-375ml-Emperor-Champagne_4cbe2385-14ea-4dec-a43e-8ff287490d64.jpg?v=1633562499","options":["Please select"],"media":[{"alt":"Drappier-Carte-d_or-375ml-Emperor-Champagne","id":20749491830893,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.5,"height":1080,"width":540,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Drappier-Carte-d_or-375ml-Emperor-Champagne_4cbe2385-14ea-4dec-a43e-8ff287490d64.jpg?v=1633562492"},"aspect_ratio":0.5,"height":1080,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Drappier-Carte-d_or-375ml-Emperor-Champagne_4cbe2385-14ea-4dec-a43e-8ff287490d64.jpg?v=1633562492","width":540},{"alt":"Drappier-Carte-d_or-375ml-Back-Emperor-Champagne","id":20749491896429,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.5,"height":1080,"width":540,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Drappier-Carte-d_or-375ml-Back-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1633562494"},"aspect_ratio":0.5,"height":1080,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Drappier-Carte-d_or-375ml-Back-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1633562494","width":540}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Emperor's Yellow Label in a half-bottle!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Pinot Noir dominant brut champagne\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- One of the oldest houses in Champagne with little to no sulphur across the range \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is the Carte d'Or.

It's at once impeccably fresh and enticingly complex, with a long finish of soft chalk minerality.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTyson Stelzer - The Champagne Guide 2016-2017\u003c\/p\u003e"}
