This connection dates back to the 1960s, when De Gaulle, retired from political life, resided in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises, near the Drappier house, in the Aube region.\u003cbr\u003eThe General used to choose local products for his meals and private events.\u003cbr\u003eImpressed by the quality of this champagne, De Gaulle adopted it for his official and family receptions. Drappier champagne was served at many events he hosted at La Boisserie. He seemed to particularly appreciate the style of Drappier champagne, which perfectly reflected his taste for simple, authentic, and well-made things.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn homage to this special relationship, the Drappier house created this cuvée named after him, the Cuvée Charles de Gaulle. This champagne, a nod to that era, is primarily made from Pinot Noir, a grape variety De Gaulle particularly favored. The bottle also features a sober and elegant label, in the image of the general.\u003cbr\u003eThe Drappier house has maintained this historical connection with General de Gaulle, a strong symbol of French heritage, and this continues to contribute to the brand's renown and prestige today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrappier House's note:\u003c\/strong\u003e In the sixties, when he was not at the Élysée Palace or on an official trip, General de Gaulle stayed at his property of La Boisserie in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises, a few kilometers from Urville. It was there that he discovered Drappier Champagne and chose a cuvée rich in Pinot Noir (80%) which was reissued in his honor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification of the Charles de Gaulle cuvée\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly first-press juices - the cuvées - are used.\u003cbr\u003eLow-pressure mechanical presses.\u003cbr\u003eUse of gravity to avoid pumping, which prevents oxidation.\u003cbr\u003eMinimal use of sulfur.\u003cbr\u003eNatural settling.\u003cbr\u003eAlcoholic fermentation for about 2 weeks at low temperature.\u003cbr\u003eThen natural and complete malolactic fermentation.\u003cbr\u003eNo filtration.\u003cbr\u003e100% of the wines are aged in tanks to maintain maximum freshness.\u003cbr\u003eAfter bottling, the cuvée is aged for at least 3 years on laths.\u003cbr\u003eDosage: 7.5 g\/l.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery fine nose, with notes of citrus, apple, almond, and even nutmeg.\u003cbr\u003eOnce in the mouth, the Cuvée Charles de Gaulle is remarkably complex, with an airy mousse and slightly candied notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing suggestions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIdeal as an aperitif.
