Bodegas cistercienses de la casa Drappier en Urville, organización de una visita para descubrir su belleza y monumentalidad
Los champanes Drappier no se contentan con ofrecerte vinos incomparables, te proponen entrar en un lugar cargado de historia, a la inquietante curiosidad: sus bodegas del siglo XII, objetivo de visita por sí solas, ineludible por su belleza y su monumentalidad. En 1116, San Bernardo importa de Borgoña el entendimiento negro, antepasado del pinot, y hace construir varias bodegas, en particular en Urville, propiedades vinculadas a la gran abadía de Clairvaux que fundó. A su muerte, en 1153, la producción vinícola se aproxima a los 600.000 litros de vino, principalmente expedida en barriques, llamada: «vino de bar». Más tarde, la casa Drappier compra estas bodegas adineradas. En la actualidad se encuentran algunos famosos y grandes "flaconques" (Balthazar, Jeroboam, Melchisédech, etc.).

We couldn’t ask for a better tour. We had the overseas export director, Milo, show us around the cellars. Despite him only being in place 10 days his knowledge and English were truly amazing. The tour lasted well over the advertised 45mins. Highlights included, the 12 century cellar, the special egg cask that only Drappier champagne uses, and the worlds biggest champagne bottle. Plus learning about their family and their ethical and environmental production.
The tasting was amazing we had way more than the advertised 3 champagnes and every single one was top class. We had taken a Bollinger for our actual anniversary and this champagne was so much better. It was more natural. We had done a couple of tastings on our holiday and usually bought a token bottle out of politeness, but we walked out of this tour with 12 bottles of 4 different champagnes that we tasted, costing over £400.
However, this was not the highlight, the highlight was we got to meet 2 generations of the Drappier family including the current owner Michel, who couldn’t of been nicer. It was also nice to know Michel’s father still takes an active role in the business at 97 years old.
If you can only do one tour please do this one you will not be disappointed
