Mâcon Chaintré Vieilles Vignes Valette (Domaine)
The wine
Mâcon-Chaintré Vieilles Vignes is made from vines over 60 years old. With an open nose, it has aromas of citrus fruit and white-fleshed fruit (especially green apples). On the palate, its acidity is pleasantly distinctive and the texture is lovely.
About the Producer Valette
Philippe Valette belongs to the third generation of wine growers in charge of the 8.5-hectare family domaine of the Mâconnais coast, producing exclusively white wines. Converted into organic farming in 1992, the domaine pays special attention to soil and vines throughout the year. The wines are neither filtered nor clarified. Philippe Valette likes to take his time, the élevage of his wines is done depending on their maturity, not according to the market. The wines spend 9, 14 or 18 months in barrels and even up to seven years for certain cuvées. Outstanding wines are exceptional, with a finesse and a rare complexity
