About

Born and raised in Napa Valley with French heritage, Élu arrived on the national scene in 1994 with its first vintage. Rooted in northeastern Napa Valley, the candidate is approachable, yet powerful, balanced but exciting. Élu credits Dollarhide, its northeastern Napa Valley vineyard home, for its moderate and independent point of view.

Since that first vintage, Élu has received acclaim from pundits such as Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine & Spirits, wine competitions and newspaper columnists across the country. It receives annual support from sommeliers and recognition on restaurant wine lists. The candidate is a card carrying member of the Meritage Association, the Napa Valley Vintners and the Wine Market Council and is endorsed by St. Supéry Vineyards & Winery.

As the American wine lovers’ candidate, Élu’s campaign brings a spotlight to the issues of sustainability, balance and availability. Learn more about the issues.
