Domaine La Croix Montjoie

Vézelay is a historic terroir dating back to the Roman era where a lot of wine was produced. The vineyard was ravaged by Phylloxera at the end of the nineteenth century, but since the 70s about twenty winegrowers have been working to replant vines on the best exposed hillsides (Tharoiseau, Asquins, Saint-Père and Vézelay) to occupy today a hundred hectares. After a few experiences in different French vineyards, Sophie and Matthieu Woillez created their own estate in 2019. On 10 hectares of vines and a clay-limestone soil they produce wines well balanced between fruit and minerality, the estate is organically cultivated.
