Domaine La Croix Montjoie

Vézelay is a historical terroir dating back to the Roman era where a lot of wine was produced. The vineyard was devastated by Phylloxera at the end of the 19th century, but since the 1970s, around twenty winemakers have been busy replanting vines on the best-exposed hillsides (Tharoiseau, Asquins, Saint-Père, and Vézelay) and now occupy around a hundred hectares. After some experiences in different French vineyards, Sophie and Matthieu Woillez created their own estate in 2019. On 10 hectares of vineyards with clay-limestone soil, they produce well-balanced wines between fruit and minerality, with the estate practicing organic farming.
