Drappier Premier Cru Brut NV, Champagne, France

Instantly recognisable bouquet of fresh white fleshed fruits with apple and pear then layers of autolysis suggesting freshly baked goods, butter brioche and a whisper of spice. Fresh and enticing mousse with a coarse silk texture and high acidity carrying flavours of apple and citrus, white strawberry and some peach. Taut and youthful, salivating and a saline, balanced, new and well made. Best drinking from day of purchase and through 2027.
