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

“A winning trifecta for the Woillez family, which placed 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 barrel aging adds character to this very lovely cuvée—full-bodied, round, and taut all at once—which offers, above all, plenty of fruit and a lovely, tangy freshness on the finish. 2026–2030” (Guide Hachette 2026)

About the wine:

It’s a trifecta for the Woillez family, which placed 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 barrel aging lends character to this very lovely cuvée—full-bodied, round, and taut all at once—which offers, 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 town of Tharoiseau since 2009. Their 13-hectare vineyard, planted mainly with Chardonnay, covers a hillside overlooking Vézelay. They are in the process of converting to organic farming.
