Drappier is considered one of the finest boutique champagne producers in the world: this is because of the cellars where they store the wine, which are among the oldest and most extensive in Europe and also were the only cellars that weren't damaged during the two world wars or the fires that raced through the area in the 1950's.

Drappier is also the sole source of unusually huge bottles of champagne: those larger than Jeroboam (3 Litres).
