Pouilly-Fuissé Tradition Valette (Domaine)

The wine

Pouilly-Fuissé Tradition is the perfect example of what can be done with Chardonnay in the hands of a talented winemaker who has great expertise: freshness, balance, a complex range of aromas and great finesse. This is a wine which pairs particularly well with dishes involving cream (blanquette de veau (veal in white sauce) and so on).

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
