Drappier 1995 Carte d’Or Brut 1.5 liters Sparkling (Champagne)
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.

Drappier 2004 Grande Sendrée Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $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.

Drappier 2002 Millésime Exception Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- $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.

Drappier 2000 Millésime Exception Sparkling (Champagne)
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.

Drappier 1995 Grand Cru Millésimé Blanc de Blancs Brut Chardonnay (Champagne)
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.

Drappier NV Pinot Noir Zéro Dosage Brut Nature (Champagne)
Taking his practice of bottling with as little sulfur as possible to its logical conclusion, André Drappier has bottled this wine with no sulfur at all. It’s a brave wine, and one where the risk is justified. It is full, very pure in the mouth, full of delicious lemon zest and grapefruit, but rounded out considerably, the fruit right up there. Drink now, is…

Drappier 1992 Carte d’Or Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
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.

Drappier NV Zéro Dosage Brut Nature Pinot Noir (Champagne)
- $43
Mouth- tingling freshness in a very crisp, dry wine that lives up to its Zéro Dosage moniker. It is all about green apples, freshly sliced lemon, a taut minerality. A few months bottle age will help to bring out a rounder, yeasty character.
