Champagne Drappier

We were in France for our 25th wedding anniversary, we’ve been coming for 12 years but never visited a vineyard. So a champagne tour was a must do on our holiday. However, we were only in the region for 2 days so only could pick one. We looked at the world famous ones but they were over an hour away. Anyway thanks to reviews like this we came across Champagne Drappier.We couldn’t ask for a better tour. We had the overseas export director, Milo, show us around the cellars. Despite him only being in place 10 days his knowledge and English were truly amazing. The tour lasted well over the advertised 45mins. Highlights included, the 12 century cellar, the special egg cask that only Drappier champagne uses, and the worlds biggest champagne bottle. Plus learning about their family and their ethical and environmental production.The tasting was amazing we had way more than the advertised 3 champagnes and every single one was top class. We had taken a Bollinger for our actual anniversary and this champagne was so much better. It was more natural. We had done a couple of tastings on our holiday and usually bought a token bottle out of politeness, but we walked out of this tour with 12 bottles of 4 different champagnes that we tasted, costing over £400.However, this was not the highlight, the highlight was we got to meet 2 generations of the Drappier family including the current owner Michel, who couldn’t of been nicer. It was also nice to know Michel’s father still takes an active role in the business at 97 years old.If you can only do one tour please do this one you will not be disappointed

Maison de champagne qui mérite d’être mieux connue. Le prix n’est pas excessif au regard de la qualité.

Une très belle visite durant la route du champagne 2022. Félicitations pour l'organisation et votre bon humeur. Ça fait plaisir de vous retrouver.

Liquid Passion ,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

Merci d'avoir permis aux jeunes de vendanger pour financer leur voyage. Très chouette accueil.

Certainly the best Champagne of the Aube, a hidden gem, insider's choice. Produced with love by the Drappier family for many generations, every Cuvée is a treasure on itself. We cannot travel to France without making a (sometimes quite large) detour to Urville.

Très belle maison, une des meilleures de la Côte des barsDes champagnes très peu dosés dont le brut nature sans dosagePrix en rapport avec la qualité des produits

Excellent trip. My favourite champagne.

Très belle maison de Champagne. Nous avons dégusté le champagne avec le propriétaire 92 ans et son fils Michel.Vraiment top
