Drappier Charles de Gaulle Brut – 750ML

Description

In the 1960s, when he was not at the Elyse Palace or on official business elsewhere, General de Gaulle would reside at his property, the Boiserie in Colombey-les-Deux-glises, situated afew miles from Urville. There he discovered Champagne Drappier and chose a cuve rich in Pinot Noir (80%) which was renamed in homage to him.

Very fine nose of citrus fruits, apple, almond or perhaps nutmeg. When it reaches the palate the Charles de Gaulle Cuve exhibits a remarkable complexity, with an airy mousse and lightly candied notes.
