"Radiant purity, striking freshness!"

“A Blanc de Noir with no dosage. The nose offers a bold array of aromas of cherry, blackcurrant, and blueberry, very fresh and direct. The palate is assertive and deep from the first sip, with lovely fullness; the phenolic compounds are well-defined, and the dry style works well here. Drink now or cellar for two to three years.” (James Suckling 2025).

Rated estate (2023 guide) 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the estate:

Established in Urville, in the heart of the Côte des Bar since 1808, the Drappier family, headed by Michel and his children, owns 55 hectares of vineyards and 50 hectares under contract. The wines, produced primarily on Kimmeridgian Jurassic soils, showcase the classic Champagne grape varieties. While Pinot Noir reigns supreme, Petit Meslier, Blanc Vrai, and Arbane are also cultivated. Committed to respecting the environment and the unique character of each grape variety, Michel Drappier crafts meticulous, precise, and authentic blends. A pioneer in producing brut nature using sustainable viticulture practices, he carefully crafts his dosage liqueur for his other cuvées.

Rated estate (2023 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)

About the estate:

A renowned winery in the Aube region, founded in 1808. Its current owner, Michel Drappier, joined by his children Charline, Hugo, and Antoine, manages a 62-hectare vineyard, planted primarily with Pinot Noir (a third of which is organic), near Bar-sur-Aube, but also sources grapes from other growers in the area. In the cellar, sulfites and dosages are carefully measured. The prestige bottles, particularly the large formats, age in the venerable cellars excavated in 1152 by the monks of the nearby Clairvaux Abbey, while the others rest in cellars converted from former chalk quarries in Reims.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 90/100

About the wine:

Beneath a barely tinted robe lies a delicate bouquet that offers a lovely tenderness with aromas of stone fruit, crushed raspberry, and Gariguette strawberry. The palate is a delightfully indulgent display of fruit. It’s round without being opulent, with a fresh finish that leaves you wanting more.

Rated estate (2023 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

The Drappier family's history dates back to the 17th century. Once occupied by the Cistercian monks of Clairvaux, the estate includes 12th-century vaulted cellars. Following in his father's footsteps, Michel Drappier has overseen the winemaking since 1979. The family owns a large vineyard in Urville (a third of which is organically farmed), supplemented by grapes from the Montagne de Reims, Bouzy, and Ambonnay. The Chardonnays come from the Aube and Cramant regions. Drappier Champagnes are deeply colored, generous in their aromas, and express themselves on the palate with their earthy vinosity. Here, one finds a clear and unadorned expression of terroir, vinified with minimal sulfur.
