Based in the Burgundian town of Joigny, 40 km north of Chablis, with a history of more than a millennium, the vineyard area totalled 540 hectares in the Middle Ages. Destroyed completely by phylloxera, the vineyards of Joigny were reborn in 1982 thanks to Michel Lorain with the help of Claude Bourguignon, a soil specialist. Together, they studied the specific terroir of Joigny and managed to restore its credentials. La Croix Saint-Jacques wines made here reflect a true taste of the terroir, showcasing flint, minerality and fruity complexity.
