Disgorged in April 2021, Drappier's new NV Brut Carte d'Or delivers attractive aromas of golden orchard fruit, stone fruit, honeycomb and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, it's charming and elegantly vinous, with a flavorful core of fruit, lively acids and a chalky finish.
The NV Champagne Carte d’Or Brut is 75% Pinot Noir, 15% Pinot Meunier, and the remainder Chardonnay, with 6.5 grams per liter dosage. There is 80% base wine from the 2019 vintage and the remainder reserve wine. This is their historical style, with the nose offering up aromas of ripe apricot, yellow flowers, and cherry liqueur. The palate is round and a bit more structured, with more stone fruit and kirsch. Best after 2022.

Champagne Non-Vintage (NV) Champagne is the region’s signature style and represents the majority of bottles produced, designed to deliver a consistent house character year after year rather than reflect a single harvest. Producers achieve this by blending wines from multiple vintages—often including a portion of reserve wines—along with the classic grapes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. NV Champagnes are typically fresh, balanced, and approachable, showing flavors of green apple, citrus, pear, brioche, and subtle toast, with lively acidity and fine bubbles. Aged longer on lees than most sparkling wines outside Champagne, NV bottlings offer impressive complexity and reliability, making them ideal both as an aperitif and for pairing with a wide range of foods. 🥂

Champagne is a historic wine region in northeastern France famed for producing the world’s most celebrated sparkling wines using the traditional method. Its cool climate and chalky soils give Champagne its signature freshness, fine bubbles, and precision, with classic grapes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier forming the backbone of most blends. Styles range from crisp, mineral-driven Blanc de Blancs to fuller, structured Blanc de Noirs, often showing notes of green apple, citrus, brioche, toasted almond, and chalk. Strict production rules, long aging on lees, and generations of expertise make Champagne not just a wine style, but a benchmark for elegance and celebration worldwide. 🥂
