WTN: 2004 Drappier Champagne

by David M. Bueker » Sat Jun 20, 2015 8:30 pm

2004 Drappier Champagne Grande Sendrée - France, Champagne (6/20/2015)
Served alongside some very cheesy gougeres, this showed a very rich, apple and citrus dominated palate. The overall depth of flavor was impressive. It partnered well with the food, and maintained a consistent flavor profile through the hour+ that we took to drain the bottle. My one criticism was that when it warmed up the wine was overly sweet.

I've liked Drappier but the dosage always pushes my upper limit (except the Nature!).

Yes. I would not want a Brut any sweeter, and prefer less sweet.
