Bouteille · 0.75 lCuvée Collection : Charles de Gaulle
This cuvée bears the name of a prominent regular customer: Charles de Gaulle appreciated the champagnes of Drappier, and the house in Urville in the Aube dedicated a bottling of its own to him. It is made of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay and is aged entirely in barrel. Sulphur is used only in very small amounts. The production run is small, with only 5,000 to 6,000 bottles made, and a few of them still lie in the cellars of the Élysée Palace today.
On the nose, citrus and apple meet almond and walnut. On the palate the brut feels complex and juicy, with slightly candied notes. It goes with white meat, with a salad of grilled guinea fowl or with a Brie de Meaux. Serve it at 10 to 12 °C in a wide white wine glass so the nutty notes can unfold.
