The Carte-D'Or Brut is blended with the traditional Champagne grapes; Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. The delicious sparkling wine possesses aromas of white peaches and cherries, providing aromatics typical of a Rose' Champagne though the appearance of a blanc.

Stony, expressive nose with lots of green and yellow orchard fruit, birthday cake, perfect arc of acid and depth across the palate. A touch higher dosage than necessary to my palate, but otherwise hard to find fault with this.

Pale lemon, medium intensity developed aromas of baked apple, lemon, brioche, toast, yeast and wet stone.. Dry, high acidity, medium alcohol, medium body, creamy mousse with flavors of apple, wet stone, pastry. Long finish, very good quality. Drink now, it's ready to go. Lovely mefium weight and a very dependable house.

Never have tasted/drank anything from Drappier previously but am very impressed. Will be sure to work this into a regular champagne for the house. Worth seeking out

Sample from #DreyfusAshby. Pale golden yellow and super lively. Tons of yeast on the nose with some stone fruit notes as well as apples and citrus. Super lively on the palate, notes of dough, citrus, tons of stone fruit, like peaches and solid minerality. Moderate acidity (6/10) and light plus bodied. Medium plus bodied and very refreshing and crisp. Excellent wine for NYE! Drink till 2018.

The Carte d'Or cuvée has a very high proportion of Pinot Noir, the Drappier style. Aromas of stone fruit and spice in a light frothy mousse. On the palate peach, plum and raspberry with citrus zest and earthy spice. Nice flow of bubbles lead to a lingering finish ending with toasty notes.

This was from a 15 Liter bottle that was stored incorrectly for years and was simply fried. Had the color of Mott's apple juice but tasted awful. Too bad, what a waste!

Drappier with Charlene Drappier! This is composed of 80% Pinot, 15% Chardonnay and 10% Meunier, mostly from around Urville. Great creaminess paired with fine kirmidgian snap.

Honeyed, mustard seed, aged cheddar cheese and fermenting apples. A nice aged treat.
