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":8899,"price_min":8899,"price_max":8899,"available":false,"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":false,"name":"Drappier Signature Blanc de Blancs - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":8899,"weight":1500,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":0,"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"}}}],"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}],"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.

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"}

Bollinger are well known for their dominance of the powerful and expressive pinot noir from Aÿ where they were founded, their use of magnums for production of all their wines and a traditional wine making style incorporating fermentation in oak barrels from which they have never deviated. They still have their own in-house cooper who makes and manages their stock of some 3,500 barrels! That equates to about 1 million bottles being fermented in barrel - that is the largest (along with Krug) of any other producer in the region. Currently Bollinger own some 164 hectares in some of the best sites across Champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"story-detail-txt\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Suggestion \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rose is one of our favourites - it is delicate with rose and fresh strawberry notes but with the biscuity fullness and structure you would expect on classic Bollinger Special Cuvee. You could serve this cuvee any day time of the day but it is best with white meats or smoked salmon.

Bollinger are well known for their dominance of the powerful and expressive pinot noir from Aÿ where they were founded, their use of magnums for production of all their wines and a traditional wine making style incorporating fermentation in oak barrels from which they have never deviated. They still have their own in-house cooper who makes and manages their stock of some 3,500 barrels! That equates to about 1 million bottles being fermented in barrel - that is the largest (along with Krug) of any other producer in the region. Currently Bollinger own some 164 hectares in some of the best sites across Champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"story-detail-txt\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Suggestion \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rose is one of our favourites - it is delicate with rose and fresh strawberry notes but with the biscuity fullness and structure you would expect on classic Bollinger Special Cuvee.
