{"title":"Champagne Drappier","description":"\u003cp\u003eChampagne Drappier is a family house in Urville, in the Côte des Bar at the southern end of Champagne. The Drappiers have made wine here since 1808, and their style is built on ripe Pinot Noir, low dosage and very little sulphur. On this page you will find Carte d'Or, the Brut Nature cuvées, Blanc de Blancs and Rosé de Saignée.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDrappier: a family Champagne house in Urville since 1808\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrançois Drappier settled in Urville in 1808, and the house is still run by his descendants. Michel Drappier has led the winemaking since 1979 and now works alongside the next generation of the family. The cellars are far older than the house itself: they were built in 1152 under Saint Bernard, the founder of nearby Clairvaux Abbey, and the buildings were once used by Cistercian monks from Clairvaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe house has a famous neighbour in its history too. Charles de Gaulle lived at La Boisserie in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises, a short drive from Urville, and was a loyal customer. In 1990 the family named a cuvée after him, a Pinot Noir-led blend with some Chardonnay. Drappier is also known for a very wide range of bottle sizes, from small formats up to the 30-litre Melchizedek, and the Brut Nature is a good wine to try in magnum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePinot Noir from the Côte des Bar, with rare old grape varieties\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Côte des Bar lies closer to Chablis than to Reims, on Kimmeridgian limestone and marl. It is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pinot-noir\"\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/a\u003e country, and Pinot Noir has been the backbone of Drappier since Georges Drappier replanted with it in the 1930s. The family farms around 60 hectares, mostly black grapes, with Pinot Meunier and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/chardonnay\"\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/a\u003e in smaller shares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrappier also keeps the forgotten grapes of Champagne alive: Arbane, Petit Meslier, Fromenteau and Blanc Vrai, as Pinot Blanc is called here. Part of the vineyard is farmed organically, sulphur is used sparingly in the cellar, and in 2016 Drappier became the first Champagne house to be certified carbon neutral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Drappier range: Carte d'Or, Brut Nature, Blanc de Blancs and rosé\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarte d'Or Brut\u003c\/strong\u003e is the house signature: a Pinot Noir-dominated blend with a little Chardonnay and Meunier, aged for about three years.

Vines are farmed with a strong emphasis on sustainable, low-intervention practices, and harvesting is done by hand to ensure careful selection of healthy, ripe bunches. In the cellar, the must is gently pressed and vinified mostly in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve purity of fruit, with a portion sometimes matured in oak for extra complexity. Malolactic fermentation is generally allowed, and after the creation of the base wines, the cuvée undergoes its second fermentation in bottle and extended aging on the lees. True to its name, no dosage is added at disgorgement, making this a Brut Nature that reflects its origin with clarity and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis crisp, mineral Champagne is superb as an aperitif and shines alongside pristine seafood: think oysters, shellfish platters, sushi, sashimi, and simple grilled fish.

Here, Pinot Noir thrives on sunny slopes of Kimmeridgian limestone and clay, giving wines with depth, fruit and a distinct mineral line. The fruit is harvested by hand to ensure careful selection, then gently pressed, with vinification carried out mostly in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks to preserve freshness and purity. A significant proportion of Pinot Noir, supported by Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, forms the blend. Malolactic fermentation is typically allowed, contributing to the cuvée’s generous, approachable style, and Drappier is known for working with low sulphur levels and minimal intervention. After the prise de mousse (secondary fermentation in bottle), the wine ages on its lees—often beyond the appellation minimum—before disgorgement and a moderate Brut dosage, allowing the natural character of the fruit and terroir to shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarte d’Or is wonderfully versatile at the table.

Serve well chilled at around 8–10°C (46–50°F) to highlight its freshness and finesse. A brief 10–15 minutes in an open bottle or in a larger glass is usually enough to let the aromas unfurl; extended decanting is not necessary, though you can gently carafe it for special occasions to emphasize its fruit and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1808, Champagne Drappier is a family-run house based in Urville, in the Côte des Bar—an area historically prized for its Pinot Noir.
