Drappier Brut 1/2 bottle
Dry / Sweet: Light / Heavy:Details
Located in Bar-sur-Aube in the south of the Champagne region, the cellars of the family firm of Champagne Drappier, now run by Michel Drappier, were built over 850 years ago. Carte d'Or is a typical Drappier blend which majors on Pinot Noir (90%) together with some Chardonnay (7%) and a little Pinot Meunier (3%). With grapes often ripening better than in more northerly vineyards, this blend is distinctively full bodied, with some complexity and biscuity richness.
The influential 'Wine Spectator' magazine has recently accorded this Champagne a 90-point rating.
