Vignoble de Tannay

It was the monks of the collegiate church of Tannay who planted the vine from 1207. The soil, clay and limestone, typical of the region, fully meets the requirements of the vine. At that time, the beverage was transported to Paris by river.

From 1875, phylloxera attacked the vineyard. The replanting of American vines did not produce the expected results, and the heavy loss of life during the First World War also prevented the replanting of the vineyard.

At the end of the 1980s, the Coteaux de Tannay vineyard began its renaissance, marked by recognition as a PGI in 2011. Today, it covers a little more than 25 ha from Villiers-sur-Yonne to Brinon-sur-Beuvron and is run by 7 winegrowers. White, red and rosé wines are produced.
The white wines are made from Chardonnay and Melon de Bourgogne.
The reds are made from pinot noir or gamay.
The rosés are made from pinot noir, gamay and pinot gris.

The wine growers of the area offer their wines for direct sale at the estates (list available at the Tourist Office and on the Community of Communes' website).
