Descripción

Toda la tradición vitivinícola de la familia Drappier queda plasmada en su champagne Carte D’Or Brut. Lanzado por primera vez en 1952, este casi blanc de noirs, por el dominio en el coupage de la Pinot noir, permaneció entre dos y tres años en contacto con sus lías. Un champagne untuoso, pero a la vez fresco. De rica y fresca persistencia con muchas notas a manzana verde, pera y un tono levemente floral. Muy rico en el retrogusto. Incluido por Decanter entre sus recomendaciones de mejores champagnes no vintage para comprar.

Opinión de los críticos

The Wine Advocate:

Disgorged in June 2019, the latest rendition of Drappier's NV Brut Carte d'Or is showing well, bursting with pretty aromas of peach, honeyed orchard fruit and white flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, chalky and incisive, with fine depth and tension and a penetrating finish. William Kelley.

Decanter:

Described by Drappier as 'almost a blanc de noirs', this Pinot Noir-dominant wine sourced from the Côte des Bar is the house's calling card. 5% of the cuvée is matured in barrels for a year for added complexity and texture, and it's bottled unfiltered with a fairly low dosage of 7g/l. There are some melon and apple scents on the nose along with a splash of red fruits, while the palate is intense, with notes of apple, quince and grape wrapped in a red-fruit veil. It's full-bodied and long, with a lovely texture from the red wine tannins and oak-matured portion. James Button. 

Wine Enthusiast:

This well-balanced nonvintage Champagne from this major producer in the Aube region is dominated by Pinot Noir, giving rich character and structure. Red apple and ripe melon flavors mean everything is in place, making for a wine that is deliciously ready to drink. Roger Voss.
