Producer

For one of Champagne’s most forward-thinking producers, Drappier has no shortage of historic roots. An eighth-generation family business, the house was founded in 1808, and occupies magnificent twelfth-century cellars built by Cistercian monks. Having spearheaded the revival of Pinot Noir in the region, in the 1930s, Drappier continued to innovate.

Drappier is renowned for its commitment to quality, sustainability, and traditional winemaking techniques. The house’s focus on Pinot Noir has led to the creation of Champagnes with distinctive character, complexity, and depth. Drappier follows environmentally conscious practices, including organic viticulture, minimal intervention, and the use of natural yeasts, allowing the terroir to shine in each bottle. The Carte d’Or cuvée reflects Drappier’s heritage and expertise, offering a balanced and expressive Champagne that’s celebrated worldwide.

Over half of Drappier’s production comes from the family’s own vineyards near their base in Urville. Viticulture is close to organic, with horse-drawn ploughing, cover crops and natural fertiliser used.

Winery

Only the juice from the first pressing – the cuvée – was used, and was transferred to tank by gravity. After a natural settling, the alcoholic fermentation took place over two weeks at a low temperature, followed by complete, natural malolactic fermentation. Five percent of the blend was aged for a year in barrel to give extra depth. Minimal sulphur was used during the production.

Food Pairings

The versatility of Drappier Carte d’Or Champagne makes it a perfect choice for a range of pairings, from festive holiday meals to elegant appetisers. Its bright acidity and elegant fruit profile complement fresh seafood, such as oysters, shrimp cocktail and smoked salmon, as well as light appetisers like goat cheese crostini, prosciutto-wrapped melon and caviar.

For Christmas celebrations, Drappier Carte d’Or pairs beautifully with traditional dishes. Its crisp acidity and complex flavours enhance roast turkey with stuffing, balancing the richness of gravy and cranberry sauce. It’s also an excellent choice with honey-glazed ham or roast pork, as the Champagne’s subtle notes of hazelnut and spice complement these flavours.

Try it with a creamy potato gratin or Brussels Sprouts sautéed with pancetta. The Champagne’s richness also enhances mild cheese platters, making it perfect alongside a Christmas cheese board featuring Brie, Camembert and aged Gouda.

For dessert, enjoy a glass with lighter options like pear tart, apple strudel, or almond biscotti to complement its fruit and nut nuances. Whether toasting with friends or pairing it with a Christmas feast, Drappier Carte d’Or Champagne brings elegance to any holiday table.
