{"title":"Drappier","description":"\u003cp\u003eBased in Urville, in the Côte des Bar, Maison Drappier has been a family-owned Champagne house since 1808. Eight generations later, it remains independent and family-run, with Michel Drappier and his children. Renowned for its low-dosage Pinot Noir champagnes, its Brut Nature cuvées and its large formats, Drappier offers a range that is both approachable and expert. At Le Caveau des Pépites you will find a wide selection of Drappier champagnes, from the standard bottle to the Salmanazar, as well as old vintages from the Oenothèque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe history of Maison Drappier\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Drappier family has been growing vines in Urville since 1808. Its vaulted cellars, dug in the 12th century by the Cistercian monks of the nearby Clairvaux Abbey, are still used to age the wines. Over the generations, the house has become known for its commitment to Pinot Noir, which dominates its vineyard, and for a very natural approach: low dosages, little or no added sulphur and vines farmed with respect for the soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrappier is one of the pioneers of Brut Nature, a champagne with no sugar added at disgorgement, and of champagne with no added sulphur. The house also preserves forgotten Champagne grape varieties such as Arbane, Petit Meslier, Blanc Vrai and Fromenteau, which you will find in the Quattuor, Trop m'en Faut ! and Père Pinot cuvées.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeneral de Gaulle, who lived in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises, a few kilometres from Urville, was a loyal customer of the house.

The grapes are gently pressed, vinified by gravity, without filtration and with very little sulphur, for a vinous, fruity, low-dosage champagne. The salmanazar holds 9 litres, the equivalent of twelve bottles, and comes in a wooden case. Large formats age the wine more slowly and more harmoniously, and this extraordinary bottle is perfect for big celebrations, weddings and receptions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey facts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France, Champagne, Côte des Bar, Urville\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Champagne Drappier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir 80%, Chardonnay 15%, Meunier 5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e low, around 5 to 6 g\/L according to the house's technical sheets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgeing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40% reserve wines, a small portion aged in oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 900 cl (salmanazar, 9 L), in a wooden case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep gold with coppery glints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stone fruit, vine peach, citrus, spicy touch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powerful and complex, vinous, characteristic note of quince jelly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it at around 7 to 8 °C, after several hours in a large tub of water and ice.
