DRAPPIER CHAMPAGNE

The articulate and utterly charming Michel Drappier makes a very good champagne. Exponents of organic and traditional practices, the Drappiers aspire to a position of natural authenticity rather than overstated sophistication, employing minimal amounts of sulphur and a low dosage approach that provides a dry and aromatic elegance to their expressions. No shortage of history either, with Drappier’s vaulted cellars tracing back to 1152. The pride of the house, the limestone rich vineyards themselves, were initially established by the Romans 2,000 years ago.
