Perle d'Or Millésime Cremant de Bourgogne Brut Champagne Blend 2018
My first vintage Crémant, this shows some development. Ripe citrus, lightly baked apple, pear, with hint of toasted brioche. The effervescence remains fine and persistent.
Easy drinking. — a month ago

Champagne Drappier – Carte d’Or Brut (Kosher Mevushal), Champagne, Urville – France 🇫🇷
Overview
A kosher mevushal Champagne from one of the most Pinot Noir–driven houses in the Aube. Drappier’s Carte d’Or leans into fruit clarity and approachability, offering a bright, juicy profile that remains true to the house’s DNA while fitting kosher requirements.
Aromas & Flavors
Immediate notes of Honeycrisp apple, ripe pear, yellow plum, and a gentle touch of honey. Fresh orchard fruit dominates, with very subtle brioche and minimal autolytic weight.
Mouthfeel
Light-bodied with a lively, soft mousse. Juicy entry, clean mid-palate, and a straightforward, refreshing finish. Acidity is present but rounded, keeping the wine easy and accessible.
Personal Pick Highlight 🍷
This is a kosher Champagne I’d reach for when freshness and drinkability matter more than complexity. Ideal for celebrations, Shabbat dinners, or casual gatherings where you want Champagne energy without heaviness.
Food Pairings
Excellent with smoked salmon, gravlax, sushi, fried appetizers, soft cheeses, or simply on its own as an aperitif.
Verdict
Bright, juicy, and uncomplicated. While it doesn’t aim for depth or long lees-driven complexity, it succeeds as a reliable, crowd-pleasing kosher Champagne with genuine Drappier character.
Did You Know?
Drappier is renowned for its high Pinot Noir content and low-intervention philosophy. Even in its mevushal bottlings, the house prioritizes fruit purity and balance over overt winemaking signatures. — 5 days ago
