Drappier champagnes do not just offer you incomparable wines, they also propose to enter a place steeped in history, the disturbing strangeness: its cellars of the th century, the objective of visiting them alone, inescapable by their beauty and symmetry. In 1116 Saint Bernard imports from Burgundy the black Engineer, ancestor of Pinot, and made several cellars, especially in Urville, properties attached to the great Abbey of Clairvaux that he founded. Upon his death, in 1153, wine production was around 600 000 litres of wine, mainly shipped in barrels, called: " bar wine ". Later, the Drappier house bought the mansions caves. Today it houses a few famous vintages and its largest "vials" (Balthazar, Jeroboam, Melchisédech, etc.).

Visiting a champagne domain in the Aube has been on my whish list for a long time and Drappier is rock solid when it comes to quality and reputation. We had a great tour and impressive tasting afterwards. Our guide mastered his stuff, so different from the marketing storytelling you experience when visiting life style "brands" in Epernay or Reims. During the tasting we were joined by the founder -André Drappier- 97 years young, a memorable moment.
Et la merveilleuse surprise d'être présentés au fondateur de cette emblématique maison. Monsieur Drapier en personne. J'ai même eu droit à une bise ! Quel souvenir. C'est plus qu'une simple dégustation !! C'est une expérience inoubliable. La visite des caves improvisée ! Je recommande vivement !
