About this bottle
In Brut Nature the Drappier family of Urville in the Côte des Bar (pronounced koht day BAR) shows its style most purely: no sugar, no filtration, with a minimal amount of sulphites.
It has a red-gold colour. It smells of freshly pressed grapes, red and white fruit and citrus. On the palate vine peach and aromatic herbs, which turn to warm spices on the finish. The palate is pure and fresh.
It is made entirely from Pinot Noir, the variety the Drappier family has been bound up with for generations. It is a Brut Nature (pronounced broot na-TEWR), or zéro dosage (pronounced zay-roh doh-sahzh): no sugar is added after disgorgement. Wine Enthusiast rated it 91 points, Gault & Millau 18 out of 20.
It is hard to find a better aperitif. It also goes well with seafood, sashimi and fresh goat's cheese.
