This village is built on the left bank of the Yonne, near the old Roman road of Agrippa. This was perfectly chosen to serve as a deposit and pick the wines of Coulanges-la-Vineuse, hence the name Vincelles ("Vinicellae"). The village was given by St. Palladius, bishop of Auxerre, Saint Germain at the Abbey in the year 635. Several lords possessed the land in turn.
