"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 facing Vézelay. They are in the process of converting to organic farming.

Review and comment by Mr. JEROME M. Posted on July 12, 2026

Very good, slightly lemony with buttery and hazelnut notes. Very pleasant, lively, with a touch of richness on the mid-palate that strangely reminds me of certain brut champagnes from the Côte des Blancs (with a dosage of 10 g/L). Although, come to think of it, it’s not so strange after all—it’s the same grape variety. Note: Serve at a temperature of 11–12°C. If served below 10°C, most white wines will leave you with nothing but a sensation of acidity and cause you to miss out on the essence of the wine.
