Drappier Grande Sendree

Lovely soft fruit. Creamy. Smooth. Great layered structure. Seems so delicate and precise after the 1998 Carte d’Or.

Drappier Carte d’Or Brut

In magnum. Lovely toast and fig, dark toad. Disgorged December 2008. Creamy, delicate mid-palate. 90/7/3 PN/CH/PM Lovely hazelnut and spice hit. Surprising delicacy with aromatics and white fruits. Less about red fruit.

Drappier Millesime Exception

40/60 CH/PN. Lovely toast and sweet oak notes on the nose. Lots of roundness on the mid palate. Beautiful mousse. Great length and acidity. Notes of fudge, raspberry. Lean midpalate needs time!

Drappier Carte d’Or

Instant hit of mushrooms. 80/15/5 PN/CH/PM. Liquor is matured in oak for 18 years. 2008 and 2009 and 2010. Disgorged January 2014. Again chalk and clay notes with hints of white pepper. Lingers with great acidity.

Drappier Brut Nature Rose

Saignee. Lovely strawberry and cream notes. Copper and gold hue. tt nice metallic edge to the nose with redcurrant and plum comes through on the mid to late palate. 2009 and 2010 base. Really feel the chalk and violet.
