The Gallo-Romans planted the first vineyard in Urville around 2,000 years ago, but it wasn't until 1152 that Saint Bernard, founder of Clairvaux Abbey, built our cellars on the land.
Seven centuries later (in 1808), the Drappier family estate was established around the magnificently preserved medieval abbey. Today, it is managed by Michel Drappier and is used to store and age the exceptional wines he produces.
The vineyard in Urville, the terroir that has embraced the Pinot Noir variety, is managed according to organic and natural practices.
The vineyards are like family archives that perpetuate Drappier's history. Traditional grape varieties that deserve to be remembered are cultivated here: Fromenteau, Arbanne, Petit Meslier, and Blanc Vrai. While many seek sophisticated excellence, natural and authentic qualities are preferred here. The many facets of our terroirs are also highlighted through our winemaking techniques: low sugar dosage and moderate use of sulfites – especially in the production of Drappier Brut Nature Sans Soufre.
