The origins of Drappier<\/span><\/h2>\n

In 1808, Fran\u00e7ois Drappier<\/strong> moves to Urville to use and exploit the vineyards. Despite all the crises between the beginning of the estate and the early 1900s, the company continued to develop in the 1930s when Georges Drappier<\/strong> develops pinot noir in the vineyards. The counter becomes the imprint of the house. Andr\u00e9 and Michelle Drapier<\/strong> launched the cuv\u00e9e \"Gold Card<\/em> with the famous yellow label and its composition of 90 % Pinot Noir, 5 % Chardonnay and 5 % Pinot Meunier.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ecology at the heart of the estate's values<\/span><\/h2>\n

On January 1, 2016, Drappier became the first Champagne houseZero Carbon<\/em>\u00a0\"<\/strong> (Ecoact certified) and was awarded byDrink Business<\/em>' the \"Green Award 2017<\/em> \u00a0\"award for the most ecologically virtuous estate. The Revue du Vin de France awards Drappier the Innovation Awards<\/em>. The Drappier house was once inhabited by Cistercian monks from Clairveaux, and features vaulted cellars dating back to the 12th century. Following in his father's footsteps, Michel Drappier has been in charge of vinification since 1979. A third of the vineyard is farmed organically, followed by supplies from Montagne de Reims, Bouzy and Ambonnay. Domaine Drappier's champagnes are colorful, generous in their aromas, and expressive on the palate with their earthy vinosity. Here we find a frank, unvarnished terroir dimension, vinified with minimal doses of sulfur.<\/span><\/p>\n
