Written Notes

Drappier Millésime Exception 2018 is a rich, expressive vintage Champagne with both depth and finesse. On the nose it shows ripe orchard fruit—apple and pear—alongside citrus, brioche, hazelnut and subtle toasty notes, with hints of almond and vanilla from oak influence. 

On the palate it is medium- to full-bodied yet precise, framed by lively acidity and fine, creamy mousse. Flavours of baked apple, yellow plum and citrus peel are underpinned by a touch of honeyed complexity and a chalky mineral thread, with savoury nuances lingering through a long, balanced finish. 

A distinctive and refined vintage Champagne that marries fruit intensity with structural elegance, showing both freshness and nuanced maturity.
