Here, four generations of the Heucq family have adopted an increasingly attentive and sustainable approach in their family vineyards and winery. The path to conversion to biodynamic viticulture fulfils an aim to reactivate microbial life in the soil to enhance terroir expression, and coincides with the construction of a new ecological cuverie with natural ventilation, collection of rainwater and self-sufficiency in solar electricity. Unusual in Champagne, the same facility also serves to house all the pickers, who are trained to be particularly discerning in what they harvest. Meunier is naturally the focus in this part of the world, though chardonnay and pinot play a significant role in most cuvées, too. Vinification is refreshingly intuitive, with each parcel fermented and aged separately in stainless steel tanks or used oak barrels from Meursault to suit, and malolactic fermentation encouraged or blocked selectively. Cuvées are aged long and dosages are low. Informative back labels declare crus, cépage and time on lees.

Here, four generations of the Heucq family have adopted an increasingly attentive and sustainable approach in their family vineyards and winery. The path to conversion to biodynamic viticulture fulfils an aim to reactivate microbial life in the soil to enhance terroir expression, and coincides with the construction of a new ecological cuverie with natural ventilation, collection of rainwater and self-sufficiency in solar electricity. Unusual in Champagne, the same facility also serves to house all the pickers, who are trained to be particularly discerning in what they harvest. Meunier is naturally the focus in this part of the world, though chardonnay and pinot play a significant role in most cuvées, too. Vinification is refreshingly intuitive, with each parcel fermented and aged separately in stainless steel tanks or used oak barrels from Meursault to suit, and malolactic fermentation encouraged or blocked selectively. Cuvées are aged long and dosages are low. Informative back labels declare crus, cépage and time on lees. For such a small estate, its huge portfolio of no fewer than 20 cuvées must be one of the most diverse in Champagne, with many labels comprising fewer than 1000 bottles. The finest cuvées of André Heucq epitomise just what can be achieved in lesser terroirs with sufficient determination and focus. Tyson Stelzer\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n"}

It is brut nature (fermented to dryness with no added sugar) which highlights its vinous nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a little tartness on the finish which is welcome.

They are located in the small village of Urville in the Côte des Bar where Pinot Noir, the predominant grape variety, finds its purest expression and allows the production of very elegant, aromatic wines. With an annual production of some 1.5 million bottles, they are considerably larger than a small grower, but not quite of the size of the Grande Marques in and around Reims and Epernay. Drappier is one of the foremost producers in the region which is highly respected amongst its peers like Cédric Bouchard, Marie-Courtin, Vouette et Sorbée, and Jacques Lassaigne.

They are located in the small village of Urville in the Côte des Bar where Pinot Noir, the predominant grape variety, finds its purest expression and allows the production of very elegant, aromatic wines. With an annual production of some 1.5 million bottles, they are considerably larger than a small grower, but not quite of the size of the Grande Marques in and around Reims and Epernay. Drappier is one of the foremost producers in the region which is highly respected amongst its peers like Cédric Bouchard, Marie-Courtin, Vouette et Sorbée, and Jacques Lassaigne. They own 55 hectares of vineyards and use another 50 hectares under contract with other growers. A an interesting historical fact is that Charles de Gaulle (the Former Minister of the Armed Forces in France) was very fond of their Champagne and they named a cuvée after him.

The house started out making still red wines in the former winemaking capital of Champagne, Aÿ and for many years resisted the sweeping sensation of making sparkling wine. The house to this day is focused on making it wine first before a champagne. This is in direct contrast to other houses that make acidic base wines purely for the purpose of making champagne. One of the key winemaking techniques is the absence of malolactic fermentation. This preserves the pristine nature of the fruit and highlights its lively acidity and bracing energy.
