Champagne Drappier

Champagne Drappier is one of the most respected family-owned Champagne houses, renowned for its independence, tradition, and innovative spirit. Founded in 1808 and based in Urville in the Côte des Bar, the estate is still managed by the Drappier family, with Michel Drappier and his children continuing the legacy as the eighth generation of winemakers. The family’s roots in viticulture, however, go back even further to the 17th century, when their ancestor, Rémy Drappier, cultivated vines in the same region.

Unlike many large Champagne houses, Drappier has retained full ownership and independence, giving it freedom to experiment while remaining committed to authenticity. The house is known for pioneering the use of Pinot Noir in the Côte des Bar, a grape variety that has become central to its style. Today, Pinot Noir dominates the estate’s vineyards and blends, giving Drappier Champagnes their depth, richness, and vinosity.

Drappier produces a wide range of Champagnes, from its flagship Carte d’Or Brut to expressive vintages such as the Exception Millésime. The house also crafts cuvées with minimal dosage and low sulfur, reflecting its philosophy of natural, pure winemaking. With a reputation for elegance and honesty, Drappier remains a benchmark for artisanal Champagne.
