Champagne Drappier Signature De S Espumante

Description

This Blanc de Blancs is made from Chardonnay grapes, with a smaller proportion of Pinot Blanc, also known as Blanc Vrai. It is a mineral, creamy, supple, and seductive champagne, featuring notes of white-fleshed fruit such as white peach and pear, blended with floral aromas reminiscent of peonies. The Drappier family tree can be traced back to the 17th century, when Rémy Drappier was born in 1604. However, it was not until 1808 that the family began to devote itself to vine cultivation and champagne production, when a family ancestor, François, settled in Urville. In 1988, deep cellars that had been excavated around Reims during the reign of Napoleon III became the family's property. It is in these underground tunnels that the most valuable bottles of Drappier’s production are kept, notably the Grande Sendrée, which has been refined over time. Today, in the eighth generation of the family, the estate owns 62 hectares of its own vineyards, plus an additional 50 hectares managed by other growers. The Drappier estate also includes some old orchards, a garden, and a farm, and has been accredited as “Carbon Neutral”. (Illustrative image only)
