Burgundy can also boast of its important and powerful religious past. Fontenay and Vézelay have their famous abbeys and the Cluny monastic ruins where the authority of the chief abbot was only second to the Pope in Rome. It was the monasteries who were responsible for the winegrowing traditions that continue till today.
