Drappier Brut Champagne

There has been a movement among serious Champagne connoisseurs away from the large, famous houses and towards smaller producers who grow some or all of their own grapes for their handcrafted wines. If you love champagne but have not yet experienced this “Farmer Fizz” as it is affectionately called, you must try a bottle of Drappier Brut, a wine crafted by brothers Andre and Michel Drappier with natural farming techniques and minimal handling in the winery. A cuvee of 100% Pinot Noir, it is an intense gold color with delicate aromas of citrus and red berry. Impossibly delicate bubbles lift flavors of peach and fresh herbs that will remind you why there is no true substitute for fine champagne. Perfect with any cheeses or hors d’oeuvres, or with fresh pasta simply adorned with seasonal vegetables.
