Description

Product description for Drappier Quattuor IV, Extra Brut NV (bio)

Wine Information

Quattuor is a champagne made from grapes from the Kimmeridge limestone of Urville. 25% each of Arbanne, Petit Meslier, Blanc Vrai (Pinot Blanc), and Chardonnay were used, with only the first pressing (cuvée) being used. Pressing was mechanical at low pressure. The must flowed into the tanks by gravity. Natural clarification took place with minimal use of sulfur. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at low temperature for two weeks. This was followed by natural and complete malolactic fermentation. No filtration or cold stabilization took place. After blending, a second fermentation took place in the bottle. The wine ages there for two to three years; the disgorgement date is engraved on the base of the bottle. The Quattor was dosed with 4.2 grams of sugar.

Colour

Light golden yellow with green reflections, lively mousse.

Nose

The champagne welcomes us with a dense bouquet of white flowers, lemon cream in warm pastry with almond slivers. Mirabelle plums, crumbly apples, ripe pineapple, quince, and a hint of honey.

Palate

On the palate, the Quattuor is complex, spicy, tart, and piquant, with a dynamic acidity that exerts a pleasant pressure on the palate. It is a tense wine with subtle mousse, light notes of autolysis, bright fruit, crumbly and spicy notes, and a long finish with precise and clear structure.
