The Quattuor Blanc de Blancs Drappier cuvée is a champagne that defies convention by marrying forgotten white grape varieties (Pinot Blanc, Arbane and Petit Meslier) with the famous Chardonnay. This bold marriage gives birth to a blanc de blancs apéritif champagne with subtle aromas of fresh citrus, white flowers and green tea. Arbane probably inherited the first vines planted by the Romans centuries ago. It is distinguished by its rarity, being only present in Champagne, particularly in the Côte des Bar, near Bar-sur-Aube. This grape variety gives champagnes an incomparable liveliness, nervousness and bouquet, perfectly suited to effervescence. Petit Meslier, like Arbane, almost disappeared after the scourge of Phylloxera. The rare plants still in existence produce a fruity champagne, marked by nuances of flint, but with very low yields. Pinot Blanc, delicate and fragile, gives rise to supple and deliciously fruity champagnes. As for Chardonnay, prince of white grape varieties, it stands out for its finesse, elegance and aromatic persistence, making it an essential ingredient in many renowned champagnes. The Quattuor Blanc de Blancs Drappier cuvée, artfully balancing these four grape varieties, is adorned with a pale gold color with green highlights, offering from the first glance a promise of freshness and sophistication. On the nose, it is a festival of freshness and finesse, where notes of fresh citrus, white flowers and green tea blend harmoniously. On the palate, it reveals its mineral and spicy character, offering a full-bodied experience.

THE BRAND
The Drappier house , established in 1808 in Urville by François Drappier, began modestly with a few hectares of vines. Over the years, its expansion has been gradual. In 1930, Georges Collot, maternal grandfather of Michel Drappier, current director of the company, undertook a bold initiative by replanting Pinot Noir in Urville, thus reviving a grape variety that had disappeared from the region. Initially mocked and nicknamed "Father Pinot", his vision proved prophetic. Today, Pinot Noir proudly dominates 75% of the Urville vineyards, and constitutes almost the majority of the grape varieties of the Drappier estate . In 1965, a Drappier Pinot Noir cuvée seduced General de Gaulle, who adopted it for his family moments in Colombey-les-deux-Églises. As a fan of the strong character of Champagne Drappier, he became one of its most illustrious clients. At that time, Maison Drappier gained fame, becoming inextricably linked to the emblematic figure of the General. His favorite Champagne was on the tables of La Boisserie, his private residence near Urville. In 1990, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the appeal of June 18, the Charles de Gaulle cuvée was born, a vibrant tribute to this great man in the history of France. Currently, the vineyard of Maison Drappier covers an area of 55 hectares, supplemented by the purchase of grapes for an almost equivalent area. Michel and Sylvie's three children, Charline, Hugo and Antoine, represent the eighth generation of the Drappier family, thus perpetuating the tradition and winemaking heritage of the house. The best vintages from Maison Drappier include Brut Nature champagne, Carte D'Or, Charles de Gaulle vintage, Clarevallis, Grande Sendrée 2010 and Brut Exception Millésimé.
