Drappier : Brut Nature

Drappier presents a delicate and fruity Brut Nature

The property

Since its creation in 1808, the Champagne Drappier House has a history intimately linked to pinot noir, its grape of choice. It was in the 1930s that against the general opinion of the community, this grape variety was replanted on the estate. History proved the house right, whose Drappier 100% pinot noir cuvée, for the anecdote, was General de Gaulle's preference during his family meals.

Today, the children of André and Micheline Drappier represent the eighth generation to cultivate this exceptional vineyard in organic and biodynamic viticulture, highlighting forgotten grape varieties such as Arbane, Petit Meslier and Blanc Vrai.

The vineyard

Located south of Reims, the vineyard of the Champagne Drappier House extends over 75 hectares of vines, spread between the Côte des Bar and its old vines, the Montagne de Reims and its intense pinot noir as well as the Côte des Blancs and its delicate chardonnay. This vineyard owes its uniqueness to its limestone-rich terroir combined with maximum sunshine. Some of the Drappier House's plots are also worked with draft horses.

The wine

The Brut Nature champagne from the Drappier House comes from plots benefiting from optimal exposure and soils with a strong limestone dominance. It brings together all the elements to represent a perfect expression of pinot noir.
