Clarevallis
This Champagne from Champagne (France) has a golden-grey color and is a beautiful blend of Pinot Noir, Meunier, Chardonnay, and Blanc Vrai. It has persistent bubbles with notes of elderberry and violet. The limestone minerality is softened by the pinot pulp creating a harmonious balance between the discreet dosage and the lovely bitter flavors. Clarevallis from Champagne Drappier pairs well with seafood such as fish or lobster.

Winery
Drappier is a Champagne producer based in the Urville region of Champagne. The house, founded in 1808, produces both vintage and non-vintage cuvee as well as a prestige wine known as Grande Sendrée. Drappier is considered one of the finest boutique champagne producers in the world.
The cellars in which the wine is stored are among the oldest and most extensive in Europe, and were the only cellars that were not damaged during the two world wars or the fires that raced through the area in the 1950s.
Drappier is known for using significantly less sulfur in their wine than many other Champagne producers. One of their cuvées, the Brut Nature Non Dosé Sans Soufre, contains no added sulfur whatsoever.
