Pressing is calibrated at low pressure, utilizing only the first pressing (the “Cuvée”). Fermentation occurs with natural settling, and malolactic fermentation is allowed to proceed naturally. Approximately 5% of the wines are matured in oak casks, adding complexity. The wine is aged for 2–3 years before release, allowing it to develop depth and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eABV (Alcohol by Volume)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e12%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe Champagne Drappier Carte d’Or Brut NV presents a fine aromatic richness, opening with aromas of stone fruits, particularly white vineyard peach.
