The Making of Drappier Blanc de Blancs Champagne

The Blanc de Blancs Drappier is made from 95% Chardonnay and 5% Blanc Vrai, an ancient Champagne grape variety that adds a gourmet touch to this cuvée. Grown on the Jurassic limestone terroir of Urville, this Chardonnay captures the mineral essence of the soil, reminiscent of a great Chablis cru, located nearby. The sustainable and reasoned cultivation practiced on the estate reinforces this approach of purity and respect for the terroir.

Vinification is carried out in stainless steel vats to highlight the minerality of the Chardonnay. A small proportion (5%) of the wines is aged in barrels, which adds a touch of complexity and roundness without dominating the mineral character of the Chardonnay. The cuvée is unfiltered and contains few sulfites, to preserve the aromatic purity of the grape variety. This Blanc de Blancs is then bottled and taken down to the cellars of the house where it will spend 30 months to gain finesse and complexity. The dosage is 6.5 g/l, providing a perfect balance between vivacity and elegance.
