Description
The Maison's vineyards, part of which are cultivated BIO, are the essential key to the Drappier cuvées. Since 1808, our family has been able to select the plots with the largest limestone component and the most favourable exposures in order to produce expressive wines with a particular fragrance, mostly located around Urville, where the majority of Pinot Noir finds its maximum expression and enables the production of aromatic and very elegant wines.

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.
We planted our vineyard in Urville, the terroir that welcomed the Pinot Noir grape variety that now "runs in our veins" and we manage it according to organic and natural practices.
Our vineyards are like family archives that perpetuate our history. We grow heirloom grape varieties that deserve to be remembered: Fromenteau, Arbanne, Petit Meslier and Blanc Vrai. While many seek to achieve sophisticated excellence, we prefer natural and authentic qualities. We also highlight the many facets of our terroirs through our vinification techniques: our low sugar dosage and moderate use of sulfites – especially in the production of Drappier Brut Nature Sans Soufre.
