Notes from the Winemaker:
"With 30% of the profits from the sale of this wine donated to charity for Africa, the NV Champagne Blanc De Blancs Brut is from the base vintages of 2019 and 2018 and has the addition of about 10% Pinot Blanc. Pouring a pale yellow, it is classic and forward on opening, with aromas of shortbread, lemon curd, and poached pear. Full-bodied and rounded, it brings more intensity and ripeness through the mid-palate, with candied citrus and a rounded mousse. Long on the palate, it’s already in a very generous place and will drink well over the next 10-12 years." (Nov 2023)
91 Points - Wine Spectator:
"A balanced Champagne, with a hint of toasted brioche serving as a rich, lightly smoky accent to dried apricot, mandarin orange peel, dogwood blossom and oyster shell notes layered with mouthwatering acidity and a creamy mousse. Drink now. 500 cases imported." - AN (Nov 2022)
FLORAL ELEGANCE, A TOUCH OF BLANC VRAI FOR THE FRUIT. LOVELY BALANCE.
As its name indicates, this white Champagne is made exclusively from white grapes, in point of fact from Chardonnay. Nevertheless, an original feature of the Drappier House, a splash of Pinot Blanc, called “Blanc Vrai” in Champagne, is sometimes added to the cuvée in order to increase its complexity and roundness.
