Located just 15km from Chablis, Irancy represents the most northern expression of Pinot Noir in Burgundy. Just a handful of producers operate here and often create excellent wines that seem well priced in comparison with their more illustrious neighbours to the south in the Côte de Nuits.
Located in the south of the Yvonne in the Grand Auxerrois, the new appellation Vézelay is extends on either side of the River Cure, a tributary of the River Yonne. It was granted appellation status in 1997 but there have been vines planted here since the end of the first century AD.
