Drappier Trop m'en Faut NV
R 1,395 PER BOTTLE
Champagne Drappier’s Trop m'en Faut NV is a ‘beautiful rarity with so many layers’ opines James Goode. Made from 100% Fromenteau (Pinot Gris), it is a tribute to Champagne's forgotten variety. With equal parts from the 2017 and 2018 vintage, Drappier’s signature style is characterised by a rich and textural expression of citrus and red skin fruit mingling with spice notes. "Trop m'en Faut is a spoonerism: they weren’t allowed to use Fromenteau, so the made-up name actually means 'It’s so good I don’t have enough of it,' while alluding to its varietal origins." – JG.
