"You're sure to enjoy this delicate, refined, and elegant 100% organic Chardonnay!"

"A trifecta for the Woillez family, which has three of its wines on the podium with the 2023 vintage. Their 'Élégante' takes the top spot and truly lives up to its name. A touch of oak during aging adds character to this very lovely cuvée, which is full-bodied, round, and taut all at once, offering above all plenty of fruit and a lovely, tangy freshness on the finish. 2026–2030” (Guide Hachette 2026)

About wine:

It’s a trifecta for the Woillez family, with three of their wines making it onto the podium in the 2023 vintage. Their “Élégante” takes the top spot and truly lives up to its name. A touch of barrel aging lends character to this lovely cuvée, which is full-bodied, round, and taut all at once, offering above all plenty of fruit and a lovely, tangy freshness on the finish. 2026–2030

About the estate:

Both agricultural engineers and oenologists, Sophie and Matthieu Woillez have been based in the commune of Tharoiseau since 2009. Their 13-hectare vineyard, planted mainly with Chardonnay, covers a hillside facing Vézelay. The conversion to organic farming is underway.
