Ratings:
“Well-integrated mousse; bright ripe Pinot fruits nose; hedonistic, corpulent, but bone-dry and refreshing.” Decanter Magazine. Ranked amongst top ten best blanc de noir champagnes in August 2005 Champagne Guide.
“One of the greatest, most delightful and easily accessible non-dosage Champagnes I’ve tasted. This cuvée is made under Drappier’s traditional low-sulphur regime (which in this instance means no sulphur whatsoever throughout the entire vinification process), hence it will go biscuity quite rapidly, but at the moment it is pure Pinot fruit from the strawberry aromas on the nose through the rich, tangy palate to the crisp and vital finish.” Tom Stevenson.
“With its zero dosage, is persistent, crisply dry and offers strawberry notes.” 90/100 Gourmet Traveller Wine, Jan 06.
