Drappier Cuvée Charles de Gaulle Brut Champagne NV 750ml

Drappier Cuvée Charles de Gaulle Brut Champagne NV 750ml

Drappier Cuvée Charles de Gaulle is a distinguished Non-Vintage Brut Champagne created in tribute to General Charles de Gaulle, who was a loyal customer of Champagne Drappier and served this Champagne at his private receptions. Crafted in the Aube region, this cuvée showcases Drappier’s signature Pinot Noir-driven style with richness, character, and elegance.

The blend is composed of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay, giving the Champagne a generous fruit profile and impressive structure. The nose reveals delicate aromas of citrus, fresh apple, almond, and nutmeg, while the palate is remarkably complex, with an airy mousse and subtle notes of candied fruit.

Produced from first-press juice and made with minimal intervention, the wine undergoes natural malolactic fermentation and is bottled without filtration. The current technical sheet indicates partial oak aging and approximately 36 months of bottle aging before release.
