/ref> Drappier is considered one of the finest boutique champagne producers in the world. Drappier produces about 1.6 million bottles of champagne a year. The cellars in which the wine is stored are among the oldest and most extensive in Europe, and were the only cellars that were not damaged during the two world wars or the fires that raced through the area in the 1950s. Drappier is known for using significantly less sulfur in their wine than many other Champagne producers. One of their cuvées, the ''Brut Nature Non Dosé Sans Soufre'', contains no added sulfur whatsoever.
