Vézelay
Vézelay continues to get more recognition as an appelation for beautiful and quality wines. Situated in the Yonne department near Chablis, the limestone-rich soils and a cool climate from an ideal condition for producing expressive Chardonnay. Though less famous than other Burgundian appellations, Vézelay also has a long history of viticulture.

Today, the region is known for its fresh and elegant wines, characterized by bright citrus and green apple aromas, beautiful floral notes, and the distinctive minerality of Chablis.
As more wine enthusiasts discover Vézelay, it continues to establish itself as an exciting part of Burgundy’s white wines, offering a compelling alternative to the more well-known Chardonnay-producing areas of the region.
