Domaine Philippe Valette - Pouilly Fuissé 2016
Domaine Philippe Valette is located in the village of Chaintré, in the Mâconnais in Burgundy . From 1990, the couple Philippe and Cécile Valette decided to cultivate their 15 hectares of vines in organic farming , with the principles of biodynamics from 1992 but without 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 grape is harvested manually and pressed directly on arrival at the cellar. The juices flow by gravity into the tank, without adding sulfur or chemical inputs. After settling, the wine is transferred to barrels for aging on lees for 12 months . The wine is racked and aged for another year before bottling.
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
