Drappier Quattuor
Description: | This limited production project of Michel Drappier is an exquisite example of the wonderful fragrances and flavors that some of the overlooked, arcane grapes of Champagne are able to produce. "Quattor" cuve, from the number four in Latin is a brilliantly balanced, equal-parts blend of Chardonnay with three legacy Champagne grapes: Arbane, Petite Meslier, and Blanc Vari. Wine Advocate 93 Points - "The latest release of Drappier's Nv Brut Blanc de Quatre Blancs Quattuoran unusual blend of Arbanne, Petite Meslier, Blanc Vrai and Chardonnayopens in the glass with an attractive bouquet of honeycomb, crisp yellow orchard fruit, dried white flowers, marzipan and toasted walnuts. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, broad and crisply fleshy, with a deep core of fruit, an elegant pinpoint mousse and tangy balancing acids, concluding with a long, nutty finish. This is a terrific rendition of this rare bottling, and it's more than a mere curio; indeed, it's well worth seeking out." |
