Drappier Millesime Exception 2016

Trust your Taste

Citrus and red fruit mingle with bread, hazelnut, almond and a little vanilla in this richly detailed vintage Champagne. A floral lift adds elegance to its generous depth. Try it if you enjoy bubbles with nutty complexity.

?

Generous flavour and texture balanced by freshness or depth favour Broad & Generous palates. PalateKey groups wines by how they feel, helping you find styles you enjoy. Your own taste comes first.

This suits you if you enjoy generous vintage Champagne with fruit and nutty depth.

It may not suit you if you prefer simple, very light bubbles.

How this wine feels

This feels full and rounded, with almost no grip. Fruit shares the palate with bread and nuts, while a fresh edge gives the finish definition.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
