Drappier : Blanc de Blancs Grand cru 2015

A vintage blanc de blancs champagne combining finesse and aromatic richness

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. 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

The vineyard extends south of Reims over 75 hectares of vines, divided 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 finely crafted chardonnay. This exceptional Champagne vineyard owes its uniqueness to its limestone-rich terroir combined with maximum sunlight. Some of the Drappier House's plots are also worked with draft horses.

Grape variety

This vintage 2015 champagne is a 100% chardonnay.
