The wines of Gérard Valette and his son, Philip are, simply put, among the best in the Mâcon. As one of the first to adopt organic viticulture, they don’t use any herbicides or commercial yeasts, instead focusing on the diverse, micro-biological life of the winery itself, making the point that great wine starts in the vineyard, not in the cellar! Here, the fruit was gently pressed before being spontaneously fermented in stainless steel with ambient yeasts, followed by 10 months in oak on the lees and bottling without fining or filtration. Opulent and luxe with a stunning concentration and focus, this Chardonnay has notes of lemon meringue, baked pear, salted Anjou pear, vanilla bean, a touch of matchstick reduction & a distinct, crunchy minerality with a nervy vein of acid throughout. People love to say that they don’t like Chardonnay but honestly, how one could resist the infinite charms of this sensational wine is beyond us. If you’re reading this, buy it now!
