From Champagne Drappier in the Aube region of France’s Côte des Bar, the Coteaux Champenois Trop M'en Faut NV is a refined 100% Pinot Noir still red sourced from a single 1.5-hectare parcel on Kimmeridgian limestone soils, named for its steep, challenging slope. Hand-harvested grapes from select vintages undergo gentle destemming, fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, and maturation in used French oak for 12 months to preserve fruit purity and enhance structure. Committed to low-intervention and organic practices, this rare still wine from a Champagne house yields a ruby red wine with vibrant intensity and graceful poise.
Tasting Notes An elegant, still red with vibrant cherry and subtle earthy finesse, reflecting Champagne’s limestone terroir. The nose reveals red cherry, raspberry, violet, and hints of chalk and forest floor. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and precise, with fine tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of juicy red fruit, mineral earthiness, and a touch of spice, leading to a long, refined finish.
Awards and Accolades The NV Trop M'en Faut earned 92 points from James Suckling for its lively fruit and elegant structure.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 14-16°C with 30 minutes of decanting to unfold aromas. Ideal with roasted poultry, charcuterie, or mushroom dishes. Enjoy now through 2032, developing enhanced earthy and silky nuances over time.
