The Making of Père Pinot 2 Drappier Champagne

The Père Pinot 2 cuvée pays tribute to Georges Drappier, nicknamed "Père Pinot" for promoting the replanting of Pinot Noir in the Aube. It is made from the four traditional Pinots of Champagne: 25% Pinot Noir, 25% Pinot Meunier, 25% Fromenteau, and 25% Blanc Vrai (Pinot Blanc), all from the family plots in Urville. Each grape variety brings a unique dimension to the blend, fully expressing the identity of the Aube terroir.

The winemaking includes maceration for the Blanc Vrai, highlighting its structure and aromas. Half of the grapes were fermented and aged in quarter oak barrels from the Temple forest (Aube), adding a subtle woody complexity to the wine. After aging on lees for 3 years and disgorgement in March 2024, this cuvée is dosed at 1.8 g/L with an ancient liqueur, achieving a perfect balance between freshness and intensity. All of this is done without added sulfites, ensuring a pure expression of the wine.

The 2020 Vintage

The 2020 vintage, on which this cuvée is based, was marked by exceptional climatic conditions. An alternation between sunny days and cool nights allowed for optimal maturation of the grapes, offering a perfect balance between aromatic concentration and freshness. The Pinots grown in Urville stand out this year for their intensity and finesse, making this vintage particularly remarkable.
