Drappier 2002 Millésime Exception Brut Sparkling

Price $70

This is a balanced wine, moving easily between rich fruit and a tight mineral and grapefruit texture. There is a hint of toast to give extra weight. Worth aging for several years. — R.V. (12/1/2010)

points

Drappier 1995 Carte d’Or Brut 1.5 liters Sparkling

With 14 years age, this Champagne shows plenty of beautifully mature fruit. At the same time, its petrol and toast aromas and flavors are balanced by soft richness, a rounded citric and pear flavor and a gentle, ripe aftertaste. — R.V. (12/1/2010)

points

Drappier 2004 Grande Sendrée Brut Sparkling

Price $99

Warm and rich, even if still young, this is a rounded Champagne, full of ripe apple and spice, pink grapefruit, lined with intense acidity. Because it is still so young, it needs several years’ aging. — R.V. (12/1/2010)

points

Drappier 2000 Millésime Exception Sparkling

Produced from vineyards owned by the monks of Clairvaux abbey, this is Drappier’s top vintage. It shows the most structure and tense character of the wines in the Drappier range. The apple, pear and toast flavors are given final crispness by lemon zest. — R.V. (12/1/2008)

points

Drappier 1995 Grand Cru Millésimé Blanc de Blancs Brut Chardonnay

This Chardonnay is generous, closer to Chablis, in a rich southern Champagne style, offering minerality but a rich, wine-like character, with vanilla as well as ripe peaches and soft acidity. Despite its age, the wine shows no sign yet of maturity. — R.V. (12/1/2008)

points

Drappier NV Quattuor Blanc de Blancs Brut Sparkling

Price $52

This blend of Chardonnay, with portions of the rare white grapes Arbane, Petit Meslier and Blanc Vrai, produces a wine that is richer than a blanc de blancs, with notes of crisp peach, pear and a hint of red fruit. It could be aged for a few months to deepen the flavors. — R.V. (12/1/2012)

points

Drappier 1992 Carte d’Or Brut Sparkling

A rich, mellow wine, still with some ripe fruit, softness and fine balance. There are yeast and toast aromas and flavors that fill out the mouth with creaminess and point up the soft apricot flavors. Delicious. Tasted from a magnum. — R.V. (12/1/2008)

points

Drappier 2000 Grande Sendrée Brut Sparkling

Price $99

A beautiful ripe, soft and fruity wine. The acidity is sweet, crisp pears and apricots giving a rich character. This is a vintage that is for drinking, not aging. — R.V. (12/1/2010)
