Drappier Carte d’Or Brut NV Champagne

Victor Osei — Really impressed with this one

8/10

I'm still pretty new to Champagne beyond the big names so tried this on a whim. The nose is gorgeous — you can smell it properly even before you take a sip. Lovely long finish too, not one of those that just disappears the second you swallow. At 12.5% it's easy drinking as well, had a couple of glasses before dinner without feeling it.

Luna Chavez — My new go-to celebration bottle

9/10

Bought this for my wife's birthday dinner and we both loved it. Really lively bubbles, crisp and fresh without being harsh. At £47 it's not cheap but honestly it drinks like something more expensive. We've already ordered another bottle for Easter.

Kenji Watanabe — Stole the show at our dinner party

9/10

Picked up two bottles for a dinner party and honestly everyone was asking about it. It's got this confident, clean taste that just works — not trying too hard, not boring either. We had it with some smoked salmon starters and it was perfect. Drappier are definitely on my radar now.
