The tradition and the pursuit of authenticity, committed to natural methods, are two of the defining traits of Drappier, one of the most prestigious wineries in the Côte des Bar. Champagne Drappier Rosé de Saignée Brut brilliantly showcases both.

General Information
The centenary family-owned firm Drappier is one of the few houses that uses the saignée or bleeding method to produce Champagne Drappier Rosé de Saignée Brut. The maceration of the must with the skins for a few days not only gives the resulting wine its characteristic color but also adds greater aromatic richness and intensity to the final ensemble. The result in the glass is a fresh, fine, and deep champagne, ideal as an aperitif.

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.
