Guide Hachette des vins 2024 (Sept. 2023) :

Domaine des Cœuriots: The winemaker. Farmers 2 km from Vézelay, Claudette and Joël Defert planted Chardonnay in 1990 on their plots classified in appellations. They delivered their harvest to the cooperative until their son Yoann took over in 2012, who focused on direct sales. The domaine, in organic conversion and whose name recalls heart-shaped fossils found in the clay-limestone soils of their vineyard, was taken over in 2022 by Marie Giraud, with Yoann Defert remaining in charge of the winery.
