Mid lemon in colour with a fine mousse. Strong yeasty notes touch of Vegemite with Lemon Citrus. On the palate Mineral and over ripe apple - a reasonably powerful creamy palate but retains its balance - a touch of salinity. Wonderful complexity after 7 years on lees and from the excellent 2008 vintage in Champagne. See previous notes from Christmas Day 2018. One of the 1001 Wines.

Feb 15th, 2020Brilliant showing. Brioche, toast, mineral, so elegant, so pure. What a nose. So airy yet so yeasty. Elegant, huge acids, so fine. So pure. Rich. But so fresh. Perfectly judged dosage. A great wine.

Immersion Project by Drappier. A bit more salty than usual bottles.

70% Pinot Noir. Kimmeridgian soil. Apricot and lime with (slight) Brioche on the nose. Metallic and toasty on the palate.

Nov 11th, 2019Christmas Day Fizz. A new Cuvée for me from the highly touted 2008 vintage. 55% Pinot Noir, 45% Chardonnay. Difficult to do disciplined notes on Christmas Day but the family liked it. Light on its feet but plenty of refreshment, and power from the Pinot Noir.
