Pouilly-Fuissé Clos de Monsieur Noly Valette (Domaine) 2008

The wine

Clos de Monsieur Noly is an organic wine made from aged vines. This exceptional cuvée is aged on lees for up to 84 months! The result is a top class wine with a complex range of fabulous aromas. The nose presents intenses aromas of cooked apple, spices and honey. On the palate the wine reveals itself to be powerful with volume, density and many complex aromas (spices, apples, pears, nuts), and both saline and mineral notes. The finish has wonderful length. A worthy Burgundy Grand Cru, this is a wine which should be kept to drink with sophisticated food (lobster, crayfish, free-range Bresse chicken with Morel mushrooms and so on).

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
