Domaine La Croix Montjoie
Located in the commune of Tharoiseau in the Yonne region, Domaine de La Croix Montjoie has been run since 2009 by Sophie and Matthieu Woillez, both agricultural engineers and oenologists. The estate's vineyards cover 10 hectares in the little-known Burgundy Vézelay appellation. This small up-and-coming appellation is located between Chablis and Beaune, and covers 4 communes over some 100 hectares. Domaine de la Croix Montjoie is named after the cross at the crossroads of the Vézelay and Tharoiseau roads. 

The La Croix Montjoie vineyard, planted mainly with Chardonnay, faces south/southeast on a stony clay-limestone soil containing giant Gryphae fossils. The vast majority of the domaine's production is concentrated on white wines, the flagship of the appellation, made from a single variety of Chardonnay. Three delicious cuvées are offered: Impatiente, Élégante and Voluptueuse. A red Irancy wine, a Crémant de Bourgogne with festive bubbles and the traditional Ratafia de Bourgogne complete the range of this promising domaine.

Vézelay is also a sacred place, with the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Basilica of Saint Mary Magdalene overlooking the vineyards. This major pilgrimage site is a departure point for the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.

"Guaranteed pleasure with this delicate cuvée".

This fine white from northern Burgundy's limestone terroirs lives up to its name! Elegant and delicate on the nose, this cuvée exudes fine vanilla notes. It unfurls on the palate, both chiselled and suave, with lemony, mineral notes reminiscent of Chablis terroirs.

This Irancy has a remarkable crimson color with garnet highlights. The nose offers notes of red berries and freshness. The palate is greedy and silky, with aromas of morello cherry, pepper and spices. A lovely summer cuvée!

"A lovely vintage to share!"

"Here is "a wine that calls out", say the tasters, "that stands out from the ordinary". They praise its intense nose, which wanders between orange blossom, butter clod and vanilla notes. Then its palate, as powerful as it is suave and delicate, sustained by a fine mineral tension that accompanies the roundness of the fruit on a lightly wooded background. A complete, racy wine that enhances the appellation". (Le Guide Hachette 2025)
