Drappier is a well respected champagne house with celebrity drinkers like Luciano Pavarotti. Made exclusively from first pressings using a technique which allows minimal sulphur (three times lower than average) making it a very natural product. Colour - brilliant with copper reflects. Bouqet - intense and fresh notes of red fruits...
Duval Leroy Blanc de Blanc Brut Champagne
Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, from five Grand Cru villages. A very fresh style, with some honeycomb notes on the nose. Lovely palate, showing freshness combined with body. Good firm mousse. Great persistence.
Duval Leroy Brut Champagne Cuvee Paris
A brut non-vintage blend, although different to that marketed as Fleur de Champagne; this has 40% C and 60% PN, again sourced from the main Champagne regions. Fancy bottle - clearly an 'upmarket' position. Fresh nose, with notes of iodine. Full, plenty of unusual salty iodine notes here too. Subtle flavour...
A very pale, creamy-lemon wine, with a nose of apples and even a hint of pineapple, and later on some bready notes. Strong acidity on the palate, with some fairly simple fruit flavours and a coarse mousse.
Duval Leroy Brut Champange 1er Cru
Very open and evocative nose, full of smoky, floral fruit. Still showing a little sulphur although this is not a problem here. A creamy mousse, very attractive, quite rounded overall, a touch nutty. Bright and fresh, a good style, which will come together quite nicely with a little time.
Duval Leroy Brut Rose Champagne
A remarkable pale wine here, barely pink at all. The nose has a soft, unappetising canned strawberry quality, with a sweet edge. This continues onto the palate, with a certain confected edge, and a tin can nervousness on he finish.
Duval Leroy Champagne Le Femme Cuvee 1995
Lovely, enticing nose, with maturing coffee. This finesse is carried through onto the palate, which has great balance, with a soft, rounded, creamy structure. Some nice concentration here. Coffee-biscuit notes, reflecting the dominant Chardonnay portion. This has excellent style now, but will continue to improve.
Gosset Brut Grand Rose Champagne
A rose champagne for the serious champagne lover. The color is salmon pink, tending toward cherry. A generous assertive bouquet redolent of small red fruit, with just a hint of spiciness, progresses into a dry, elegant flavor that is fresh and lively, delicate and yet intense. A rose champagne with immense...
Gosset Champagne Brut Excellence
Aromas of pear and honeysuckle perfume the bouquet. This is a beautifully balanced champagne with a long, expressive finish. Production Technique: Gosset only uses juice from the first and best pressing of grapes, and unlike most other producers, initial fermentation is still carried out in small oak barrels. Riddling and disgorgement...

Bearing the hallmark of the year of its birth, this cuvée is impressive with its richness and elegance.

Henriot Brut Champagne Souverain
An unusual proportion of Chardonnay gives this cuvée an original and very racy profile. A Champagne full of elegance, lightness and finesse, just as pleasant as an aperitif as throughout an entire meal.
Obtaining a very delicate rosé and preserving all the elegant lightness that is Champagne’s top characteristic is a difficult and fascinating exercise. This cuvée charms with its lovely balance in an aromatic range of red fruit, whose persistence is remarkable.
Henriot Brut Rose Champagne 2002
Obtaining a very delicate rosé and preserving all the elegant lightness that is Champagne’s top characteristic is a difficult and fascinating exercise. This cuvée charms with its lovely balance in an aromatic range of red fruit, whose persistence is remarkable.
Intensely flavored, with definitely yeasty aromas turning to gingerbread, cinnamon and ripe apples on the palate. Shows fine depth and vibrant structure, with liveliness to drive the flavors and keep it fresh. Rated 90 Wine Spectator

A Blanc de Blanc at this price and rated 92 Points The new cuvee is 1998 and 1997 with less dosage that any previous Carte Blanche at 10 grams per liter of residual sugar.

Muscular and graceful, slowly extending its cherry, honey and biscuit flavors across a well-toned structure. Fine length and persistence of flavors.
