Champagne Drouilly L.V – Tradition NV – Brut

Light straw colour or medium intense straw colour, I would say. Still appearing fairly youthful with a green tinge and medium sized bubbles. Quite intense nose here, rather vinous I would say. Some hints of the lees, floral, some white flower and then a hint of butter brioche. Quite ripe fruit, more towards yellow fruit; like peach, apricot, ripe citrus. Palate is medium-bodied. Quite good grip. It appears fairly dry, not too high in terms of dosage. Good level of acidity. I think the mousse is well integrated. Medium intense in terms of creaminess. Quite persistent on the finish. I think this is nicely rounded off and mellow. Not too youthful, not with a lot of maturity, but rather with good drinkability today.
