Information
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
On the nose, this Mâcon is fine and delicate, with aromas of well ripened white-fleshed fruit (apples, pears) and raisins, enhanced by notes of mild spices. On the palate, it reveals a great range of aromas, plenty of body and lovely tension.
