Champagne Drappier
Père Pinot 2
Père Pinot 2 is a micro cuvée dedicated to Georges Drappier who was known as “Father Pinot”.
George was a winemaker nicknamed «Père Pinot» for advocating the replanting of Pinot Noir in the Aube region. He was also our great-grandfather.
The «Père Pinot» adventure began in 2016, the year we – the three children of the 8th generation – joined the family estate. With this «family wine» we explore our family’s winemaking past with great freedom.
For this new tribute, we have reinterpreted a blend of the four Pinots from the appellation, which have been cultivated in our family for several generations.
– Charline, Hugo et Antoine Drappier
