Description
The “Victor Dravigny” range pays tribute to the remarkable champagne artisan, Victor Dravigny, whose legacy continues to shape the rich history of Russian sparkling wine and red wine. Dravigny, a skilled and visionary winemaker, worked at the renowned Abrau-Durso winery from 1905 to 1919. During his tenure, he introduced the classic French “champenoise” method of production to Russia, a technique that would revolutionize the quality of Russian sparkling wines. Under his expert guidance, the winery produced exceptional wines that not only captured the essence of the French tradition but also set new standards of excellence.
The wines crafted by Dravigny became so highly regarded that they soon gained the favor of the Russian imperial family. Emperor Nicholas II and his court were particularly fond of these exquisite sparkling wines, making them a regular feature at their royal gatherings. The wines’ reputation extended beyond Russia’s borders, and they became a point of national pride. Thanks to Dravigny’s expertise, Abrau-Durso wines were exported to prestigious markets in the United States and Great Britain, where they were celebrated for their exceptional quality and craftsmanship.
Today, the “Victor Dravigny” range stands as a testament to this groundbreaking winemaker’s contributions, honoring his mastery of the craft and his pivotal role in the history of Russian champagne production. These wines continue to reflect the same dedication to quality and tradition that Dravigny instilled during his time at Abrau-Durso, maintaining his legacy as one of the most influential figures in the world of sparkling wine.
