Drappier Millésime Exception 2005
Drappier’s Millésime Exception is a traditionally styled wine, reliant on about 65 per cent pinot noir and barrel ageing of half its base wines for its emphatic personality. This 2005 vintage is well balanced, if a bit broad, with apple, egg custard, biscuit and nutty characters, but it pulls up just a tad short compared with the best wines in this tasting.
