Drappier Champagne and General Charles de Gaulles

I did a radio segment today on Around the World Travel Radio about my trip to Champagne. I was asked about special Champagne Houses I visited and one came right to mind, Drappier. It is family owned and goes back to 1808, the vines are south facing in the chalky area near Urville. It is one of the finest Aubois Champagnes. We tasted so many fine vintages there all so very satisfying. The French president and WWII General Charles de Gaulles loved it, it is easy to see and taste why! Check out a new travel blog by the Devil Dog for some great prose about the grapes.
