The house of Drappier showcases its exquisite originality in Champagne Drappier Blanc de Blancs Brut by adding a small touch of the pinot blanc variety known as blanc vrai to the dominant chardonnay.

Champagne, resulting in a balanced and captivating sparkling wine. Rated 92 points by the prestigious publication Wine Spectator.

Tasting notes
Pale yellow in color with abundant and fine bubbles.
On the nose, it stands out for its aromas of white fruit (peach, pear) combined with more floral notes of peony.
Creamy and enveloping, its mineral character with a slight hint of biscuit surprises on the palate.

The winery
Winery
Settled in the commune of Urville, Champagne Drappier is one of the most prestigious wineries in the southern part of the Champagne region. Despite being founded in 1808, the first plantations of its vineyard date back to the Gallo-Roman era, 2000 years ago, and its cellars were built in 1152 by Saint Bernard, founder of the Clairvaux Abbey.
Currently, Champagne Drappier owns 55 hectares of vineyards and oversees another 50 thanks to agreements with local winegrowers. The dominant grape variety in the cultivation is pinot noir. It is precisely the use of this variety that is the main hallmark of the house, along with a winemaking process that emphasizes minimal dosage. The small amount of liqueur d'expédition used in their champagnes is typically a wine aged in barrels for over 10 years, which adds complexity and length. The result is a well-defined style distinguished by authenticity and the pursuit of natural qualities.
