Drappier Reserve de l Oenotheque 2006 Brut Champagne 1.5L Magnum

Drappier Champagne Brut "Réserve de l’Oenothèque" 2006 Magnum 1.5L is a rare mature vintage Champagne from Drappier's private Œnothèque collection. Preserved in the House's cellars and presented in the prestigious Magnum format, this cuvée offers a combination of mature complexity, freshness and refined texture.

The 2006 vintage is composed of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with the Pinot Noir providing structure and depth while Chardonnay contributes freshness and aromatic lift. Extended ageing on the lees allows the wine to develop layers of dried fruit, pastry, toasted nuts and subtle honeyed character.
