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 cuvée’s, they have a range including a ‘Sulfur free’, ‘Zero dosage’, and a ‘blanc de blancs’ that contains a forgotten grape called Blanc Vrai.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2019-11-13T10:29:02+11:00","created_at":"2019-10-28T10:03:21+11:00","vendor":"Drappier","type":"Brut","tags":["Brut","Exclusive","Kyri's Selection","Low Sulphur","Magnum","Prestige","Prestige Collection","Prestige Cuvee","Region: Urville","Size: Magnum","spo-default","spo-disabled","Sustainable","Taste: Aged 5 Years on Lees","Taste: Barrel-maturation","Taste: Chalky","Taste: Chardonnay Dominant","Taste: Citrus","Taste: Hazelnut","Taste: Malolactic Fermention","Taste: No Filtration","Taste: Pinot Noir Dominant","Taste: Spice","Taste: Stainless Steel Fermentation","Taste: Textural","Taste: Texture","Taste: Toasty","Taste: Vanilla","Year: 2008"],"price":38000,"price_min":38000,"price_max":38000,"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":31020812402797,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"DRAPPIER_MILL_08","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":15823229517933,"product_id":4318070276205,"position":1,"created_at":"2020-10-22T10:16:11+11:00","updated_at":"2020-10-22T10:16:11+11:00","alt":null,"width":540,"height":1080,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Drappie-Millesime-Exception-2008-Magnum-_1.5L_-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1603322171","variant_ids":[31020812402797]},"available":true,"name":"Drappier Millésime Exception 2008 Magnum (1.5L) - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":38000,"weight":3100,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":3,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"3469380103850","featured_media":{"alt":null,"id":7994481442925,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.5,"height":1080,"width":540,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Drappie-Millesime-Exception-2008-Magnum-_1.5L_-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1603322171"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Drappie-Millesime-Exception-2008-Magnum-_1.5L_-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1603322171"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Drappie-Millesime-Exception-2008-Magnum-_1.5L_-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1603322171","options":["Please select"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":7994481442925,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.5,"height":1080,"width":540,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Drappie-Millesime-Exception-2008-Magnum-_1.5L_-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1603322171"},"aspect_ratio":0.5,"height":1080,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Drappie-Millesime-Exception-2008-Magnum-_1.5L_-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1603322171","width":540}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e- One of our favourite magnums, rich and spicy like a Christmas cake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- A magical \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2008\u003c\/strong\u003e vintage in a Magnum format.

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 cuvée’s, they have a range including a ‘Sulfur free’, ‘Zero dosage’, and a ‘blanc de blancs’ that contains a forgotten grape called Blanc Vrai.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
