Drappier earned the Green Personality of the Year award for its dedicated implementation of multiple environmental initiatives.

Organic farming practices eliminate herbicides and pesticides, relying instead on manual weeding with hoes, horse-drawn plowing, and fallow periods. By managing surface vegetation, biodiversity is enhanced, ensuring the vineyard's natural equilibrium. The estate also addresses climate change, earning Drappier its ECOACT certification as a carbon-neutral champagne producer. To reduce greenhouse gases, natural refrigeration in cellars is standard practice. Electric vehicles and tractors have been introduced, eliminating fossil fuel use. The estate generates 75% of its electricity via photovoltaic panels and employs low-carbon bottles (80% recycled glass). Even Antoine's beloved horse, Ida, participates in plowing organic plots to reduce carbon footprint and prevent soil erosion.

Bright red berry pastry and some caramel notes on the nose here. The palate has smooth alluring texture plus flavors of Turkish delight. Red cherry and raspberry crush sit nicely in a smooth, even and fleshy package. Super musky finish; really pretty Champagne this.
