The color has not deepened with age, and the wine offers notes of custard and hazelnut yet remains remarkably fresh for a 20-year-old wine. It has intensity but is weightless and refined, with a creamy mousse and no bitterness. A stunning and beautiful wine that’s in the market today, I would encourage seeking it out. Composed of 75% Pinot Noir, 10% Meunier, and 15% Chardonnay, disgorged in June 2023. 4-5 grams per liter dosage. 2005 was better here than in the Marne. Showing beautifully, this vintage is in the old glass; they now use recycled glass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDecanter (Natalie Earl) 96 pts!\u003c\/strong\u003e  While initially toasty on the nose, with a bit of air it reveals sumptuous notes of orange rind, bitter marmalade, fleshy nectarine and warm citrus. Despite its richness it's still structured, the mousse forming a complex architecture. Some notes of toasted nuts and bruised apple emerge on the finish. I really like the tension that this wine still shows. The Drappier family's Oenothèque range offers a unique glimpse at rare older vintages long-aged on the lees, disgorged as and when required. \u003cem\u003e(Drink between 2025 - 2035)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Envoyer Imports ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54139719549296,"sku":"54139719549296","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.envoyerfinewines.com\/products\/2005-drappier-champagne-reserve-de-loenotheque-1","provider":"Envoyer Imports ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
