domaine valette pouilly fuissé 2016

"philippe valette is an outstanding winemaker. his whites are real wonders that shine beyond mâconnais. located in the village of chaintré, the estate benefits from a long wine tradition. the 15 hectares of vines, scattered over chaintré and vinzelles, are fervently cultivated in organic farming. the natural balance of the soil and the vine are here at the heart of the concerns. regular scratching of the soil and grass grass promote a development of the root system in depth. in the cellar, sweetness and patience guide each of the winemaker’s gestures or decisions. the winemaking is done in indigenous yeasts, the wines are sung by gravity. very long maturations on lees (72 months for some cuvées!) and in barrels, without racking, refine the wines preciously and reveal all the greatness of the terroirs of the domaine. a non-existent or very small amount of sulphur is used in each wine. the result is prodigious and gives birth to wines that transport to countries of flavours rarely explored in the wines of mâconnais. this cuvée from a blend of the beautiful marl-limestone terroirs of fuissé, is one of the references of the domain. how to remain insensitive to the charm of a sweet ripe fruit so well balanced by a harmonious mineral weft. the aromatic scope of this complex and tasty juice enchants the palate."
