TN: NV Drappier Champagne Cuvée Charles de Gaulle (France, Champagne)

  • NV Drappier Champagne Cuvée Charles de Gaulle - France, Champagne (5/8/2021)
    If Ben Christianson is right about the dosage, he is also right that it tastes lower. Not bone dry acidic but no real sweetness on the palate. This is an excellent NV bubbly. Very good balance with flavors blending together with nothing forcing its way to the front to hide the overall complexity and presentation. There is a significant depth of flavor with very light yeastyness and tropical citrus. Depth from time on the lees that is hard to describe. I think Ray T would have liked it for the price. (91 pts.)

Always loved this champagne. As you said, massive depth to it.

Probably my favourite wine in Drappier’s range (which I love and know quite well).
