Urban of Langres was a fourth-century Gallo-Roman bishop who led the diocese of Lingonum, known today as Langres, starting in 374. According to tradition, he sought refuge in a vineyard to escape political unrest, where he was protected by local workers. This experience led to a lasting connection with those in the wine industry, as he used the vineyards to travel and spread his faith. He died around 390 and is recognized as a saint in several Christian traditions.
