Tuesday, June 11, 2013 - MAYBE. Am I missing something but every time i have had this champagne, it always seems a bit thin, a sharp acidity that is not well balanced by fruit. I just don't get the attraction. we opened an nv bollinger and it seemed so much more flavoursome. is it an aging issue or is it just a naked emperor?

I think the appeal for DP is that it is readily available in most markets and in general the produce a good product. Thee are better campaigns out there, but I can't get my hands on them. Heck, I can buy DP at Costco.
I have had some truly stunning examples of this wine, but little experience with other Champaign.
