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. Amongst their range of excellent cuvées, they have a range including a ‘Sulphur free’, ‘Zero dosage’, and a ‘Blanc de blancs’ that contains a forgotten grape called Blanc Vrai.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e","published_at":"2018-11-14T21:44:54+11:00","created_at":"2018-11-14T21:25:46+11:00","vendor":"Drappier","type":"Blanc de Blancs","tags":["Exclusive","Kyri's Selection","Region: Urville","Taste: Aged 3 Years on Lees","Taste: Almond","Taste: Biscuit","Taste: Chardonnay Dominant","Taste: Creamy","Taste: Floral","Taste: Malolactic Fermention","Taste: Mineral","Taste: No Filtration","Taste: Organic","Taste: Peach","Taste: Pear","Taste: Stainless Steel Fermentation","Taste: Textural","Taste: Texture","Year: NV"],"price":9295,"price_min":9295,"price_max":9295,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":13831937556589,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"DRAPPIER_BDB","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":4324924588141,"product_id":1488094068845,"position":1,"created_at":"2018-12-12T16:39:56+11:00","updated_at":"2020-04-24T21:32:32+10:00","alt":"Emperor-Champagne-Drapper-Brut-Blanc-De-Blancs","width":646,"height":1000,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Emperor-Champagne-Drapper-Brut-Blanc-De-Blancs.jpg?v=1587727952","variant_ids":[13831937556589]},"available":true,"name":"Drappier Signature Blanc de Blancs - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":9295,"weight":1500,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":68,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"","featured_media":{"alt":"Emperor-Champagne-Drapper-Brut-Blanc-De-Blancs","id":1286175391853,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.646,"height":1000,"width":646,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Emperor-Champagne-Drapper-Brut-Blanc-De-Blancs.jpg?v=1569146989"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Emperor-Champagne-Drapper-Brut-Blanc-De-Blancs.jpg?v=1587727952"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Emperor-Champagne-Drapper-Brut-Blanc-De-Blancs.jpg?v=1587727952","options":["Please select"],"media":[{"alt":"Emperor-Champagne-Drapper-Brut-Blanc-De-Blancs","id":1286175391853,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.646,"height":1000,"width":646,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Emperor-Champagne-Drapper-Brut-Blanc-De-Blancs.jpg?v=1569146989"},"aspect_ratio":0.646,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Emperor-Champagne-Drapper-Brut-Blanc-De-Blancs.jpg?v=1569146989","width":646}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e- One of the oldest and most prominent houses in Champagne with little to no sulphur across the range \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Made using Chardonnay from the Grand Cru village of Cramant plus fruit in the southern village of Urville \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Pair with freshly shucked Oysters with fresh lemon juice\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHere's something to freshen up your day.

Charles Dufour 'Bulles de Comptoir' Stillleben #8

---

Extra Brut

NV

Landreville

- Certified Organic grower from the Côte des Bar in the South of Champagne - No sulphur, natural approach to winemaking - Pair with some washed rind cheese and sourdough. What to expect from this organic delight? Charles Dufour Stillleben #8 "Very accessible already with red apples, tropical fruit and plenty of more red fruits. It’s a blend of 60% Pinot noir, 30% Chardonnay & 10% Pinot Blanc (base 2016 + wine from 2010 right through to 2015). Really enjoyed this bottle and besides the fruitiness that was very dominant it had some oxidative notes in the background, nice minerality and a floral touch." Sourced from our friend @champagneweathers on IG. About the house Charles Dufour is an considered one of the most important figures for organic champagne production. He is a vigneron from Côte des Bar in the village of Landreville. Charles Dufour is a wine grower representing a new generation of small vignerons. He started producing high quality Champagne in 2006 in the family business, then he decided to convert to organic agriculture, conversion completed with the harvesting in 2010. All grapes for his new line Charles Dufour - Les Vignes du 7 are now strictly certified. Charles' purist choice is not limited to the elimination of chemicals in the field, it also affects the vinification process, even though it is a very complicated one for Champagne. This is Charles Dufour's recipe for an authentic Champagne, able to reflect the terroir of the Côte with a round taste, before being successful Champagnes View more details

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.

Run by the Chiquet family since purchasing the property in 1978, brothers Jean-Herve and Laurent are at the helm and creating a different form of magic in their region of Dizy. Have you ever considered yourself a bit of a 'rebel' or a non-conformist at heart? Are you a perfectionist with ridiculous attention to detail? If so, you will comfortably align with the philosophy and beliefs of the Chiquet brothers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost, in fact all champagne houses create a non-vintage blend which aims at having a consistent ‘house-style’ year in year out, blending across multiple vintages and reserves to make the wine homogenous even if the year brings in extraordinary fruit. To the brothers Chiquet, they couldn’t quite accept a dumbing down of the wine to suit a style so instead, they decided to work with the best of that given year and change from making their ‘NV’ given the code ‘Cuvée No. 740 (base year: 2012)’ instead.

Run by the Chiquet family since purchasing the property in 1978, brothers Jean-Herve and Laurent are at the helm and creating a different form of magic in their region of Dizy. Have you ever considered yourself a bit of a 'rebel' or a non-conformist at heart? Are you a perfectionist with ridiculous attention to detail? If so, you will comfortably align with the philosophy and beliefs of the Chiquet brothers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost, in fact all champagne houses create a non-vintage blend which aims at having a consistent ‘house-style’ year in year out, blending across multiple vintages and reserves to make the wine homogenous even if the year brings in extraordinary fruit. To the brothers Chiquet, they couldn’t quite accept a dumbing down of the wine to suit a style so instead, they decided to work with the best of that given year and change from making their ‘NV’ given the code ‘Cuvée No. 740 (base year: 2012)’ instead. The result is a wine that changes every year and reflects the best of their combined efforts and the offerings of Mother Nature. Cuvée No. 740 accounts for 90% of their production, which sits at 280,000 bottles.
