Champagne Drappier

Charles de Gaulle

The Champagne Charles de Gaulle by Drappier is a tribute to one of the most iconic and beloved figures in French history, closely tied to the lands of Urville and nearby Colombey. Among the chalky soils of Jurassic Kimmeridgian origin and a considered, sustainable viticulture, a cuvée of rare personality takes shape, one that naturally unites power, character and elegance, the ideal encounter between a great terroir and the memory of a man who shared its spirit.

This cuvée reflects the Maison's constant pursuit of balance and finesse and rests mainly on Pinot Noir grapes, joined by 20% Chardonnay. Vinification and maturation proceed by gravity, with a share of the wines aged in foudre, and after tirage a maturation on the lees follows for 36 months before a final dosage of 5 g/l, in a Brut style, defines its balance.

In tasting, the Cuvée Charles de Gaulle opens on a very fine and elegant aromatic profile, where citrus intertwines with delicate hints of apple, sweet almond and a refined spicy touch of nutmeg. On the palate it reveals a truly remarkable complexity, sustained by a light and airy mousse and by pleasant, slightly candied notes, for a whole of great balance, freshness and long persistence that confirms its broad, elegant structure of rare depth.

Drappier

The roots of the Drappier family reach back to the Middle Ages, when the Cistercian monks of Saint Bernard built at Urville, for the Abbey of Clairvaux, the residence that still houses the Maison today. Its vocation for winegrowing took shape in the Napoleonic era with François Drappier and was handed down from one generation to the next. In the twentieth century these Champagnes won over General de Gaulle, who remained a devoted admirer from the time of his retreat to Colombey-les-Deux-Églises.

The Maison is based in Urville, in the Bar-sur-Aubois, where its roughly sixty hectares of estate vineyards stretch across a rare Kimmeridgian terroir, rich in limestone and akin to that of Chablis. The vines are planted mainly with Pinot Noir, alongside Chardonnay, Meunier and a few cépages oubliés such as Arbanne and Petit Meslier, brought back to life by the Maison, under a fully organic cultivation and a production that has achieved carbon neutrality.

Here the wines rest in the ancient cellars carved out by the Cistercian monks in the twelfth century, joined since 1988 by the deep chalk galleries of Reims, dating from the Napoleonic era. Bound to these two landmark sites of the region, Drappier has preserved its independence, remaining apart from the great financial acquisitions of recent decades. Led by Michel Drappier and the eighth generation, the family today signs around 600,000 bottles that reflect, with restraint, the character of the Côte des Bar and its long tradition.
