Drappier Champagne

Founded in 1808, the Drappier estate is, above all, a great family story in Champagne. The vineyard covers nearly 90 hectares, comprising a collection of plots acquired over time. The estate owns vineyards across Champagne’s three major terroirs. The Côte des Bar, the family’s birthplace. The Montagne de Reims, known for the power of its Pinot Noir. The Côte des Blancs, renowned for the finesse of its Chardonnay. At its helm, Michel Drappier is the guardian of the estate’s operations and reputation. The Drappier estate strikes a delicate balance between respect for tradition and demanding innovation.

Local Produce, Organic and Natural

Environmental and climate protection is not merely a pose in this sector. Organic production applies to the bulk of the range, from non-vintage bruts to the top vintages. Furthermore, as Michel Drappier is intolerant to sulphur, he produces champagnes with minimal sulphur content. Notably, a brut nature that is completely sulphur-free.

“On the edge of the opulent Burgundy region, the small village of Urville is home to a Champagne house that has risen to rank among the very best. An exemplary and extensive family-run business spanning generations, led by Michel Drappier, a passionate winemaker constantly exploring the potential of the Aube region.” (Guide Hachette)

The first zero-carbon champagne

In 2019, Michel Drappier was awarded the Innovation Prize by RVF: “There are now a thousand ways to bring about an ‘eco’ revolution.” Between organic, ‘natural’, sustainable, vegan and biodynamic methods, Michel Drappier has chosen a path that is original to say the least: offsetting 100% of his carbon emissions, the infamous CO2. This makes him, officially since the 2018 harvest, the first ‘zero-carbon’ champagne (Ecoact-certified).”

“Drappier produces colourful champagnes with generous aromas, which reveal their earthy character on the palate. A distinct terroir profile, with minimal sulphur content. The finest champagne house on the Côte des Bar offers a generous, distinctive range, notably including a Brut Nature champagne, the sulphur-free version of which is highly sought-after in wine bars.”
