"Guaranteed fun!

This fine white from northern Burgundy's limestone terroirs lives up to its name! Elegant and delicate on the nose, this cuvée exudes fine vanilla notes. It unfurls on the palate, both chiselled and suave, with lemony, mineral notes reminiscent of Chablis terroirs.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 05/02/2023

Chardonnay isn't just Chablis, it's also Vezelay. Simple, light and taut, l'Elégante reveals itself on the palate with delicate flavors of lemon, grapefruit and limestone, rounded out by fatness and a hint of butter. The delectable, refreshing finish lingers on minerality, with a hint of menthol. Rating limited to 4, as the price of this cuvée is starting to sting. At 10, l'Elégante honored cod with beurre blanc, accompanied by the first green asparagus.
