Drappier Éclose 2012 was released in late April 2026. It is the first Champagne aged in an ovum-shaped oak cask. The cask is made by Taransaud and holds 2,500 litres; Drappier owns three of them. The blend is 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay. The fruit comes from the Grande Sendrée parcel at Urville in the Côte des Bar, on Kimmeridgian chalk. Aged three years in the egg, bottled in 2015, ten years on lees, disgorged April 2025. Dosage 4 g/L (extra-brut). Michel Drappier ordered the first Taransaud egg in 2010. 1 of 574 bottles disgorged in April 2025
Drappier Éclose 2012 Champagne features a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, showcasing a mineral identity from its unique terroir. The wine is noted for its creamy fullness from long lees aging, subtle wood notes, and a preserved freshness due to the gentle movement during fermentation in egg-shaped barrels
The wine's acidity balances the richness of seafood and it complements the savoury flavours of roasted or grilled poultry. Its texture matches well with creamy sauces.
