"A lovely vintage to share!"
"Here is "a wine that calls out", say the tasters, "that stands out from the ordinary". They praise its intense nose, which wanders between orange blossom, butter clod and vanilla notes. Then its palate, as powerful as it is suave and delicate, sustained by a fine mineral tension that accompanies the roundness of the fruit on a lightly wooded background. A complete, racy wine that enhances the appellation". (Le Guide Hachette 2025)

Domain rated (guide 2023) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
Here is "a wine that calls out", say the tasters, "that stands out from the ordinary". They salute its intense nose, which wanders between orange blossom, butter clumps and vanilla notes. Then its palate, as powerful as it is suave and delicate, sustained by a fine mineral tension that accompanies the roundness of the fruit on a lightly wooded background. A complete, racy wine that enhances the appellation.
About the domain :
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. Organic conversion is underway.
