Champagne Drappier
Founded in 1808, Domaine Drappier favours Pinot Noir in its planting with 70% of the estate, supplemented by Pinot Meunier at 15%, Chardonnay at 9%, and old grape varieties at 6%.
Champagne Drappier - a rich family and estate history
Today, Champagne Drappier remains a true family business, with Michel Drappier in charge of vinification since 1979 and André Drappier (with 74 harvests of experience) still keeping a close eye on the vineyard. The eighth generation look after marketing, viticulture, and farming, with Antoine (the youngest) showing a keen interest in animals and nature - he even ploughs part of the sustainably-farmed vineyard with his horse.
