Domaine Philippe Valette - Pouilly Fuissé 2015
Domaine Philippe Valette is located in the village of Chaintré, in the Mâconnais in Burgundy. In 1990, the couple Philippe and Cécile Valette decided to cultivate their 15 hectares of vines organically, with the principles of biodynamicsfrom 1992 without any certification. Patience is their philosophy: they harvest the grapes at optimum maturity, even if it means reducing yields, and favor long aging in barrels.
The Chardonnay grapes are harvested manually and pressed directly upon arrival at the cellar. The juices flow by gravity in the tank, without adding sulfur or chemical inputs. After settling, the wine is transferred to barrels for aging on the lees for 12 months. The wine is racked and then matured for another year before bottling.
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
