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 Croix Montjoie vineyard, planted mainly with Chardonnay grapes, lies on a south/southeast-facing slope, on 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.

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

"A Pinot Noir with undeniable charm: silky and gourmand, it blossoms and reinvents itself in your glass as you aerate it!"

This Irancy 2023 charms with its sublime ruby color and nose of black cherry, blackcurrant and redcurrant. The palate is silky and savory, with delicate tannins and black fruit flavors echoing the nose, while mingling with morello cherry jam aromas through to a long, spicy, peppery finish. A lovely summer cuvée!

"This 100% Chardonnay organic cuvée is sure to please with its delicacy and elegance!

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.

"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)
