Give this Chablis Premier Cru some time in the cellar. Its texture will soften and its aromatic notes will develop beautifully More info

Domaine Valette's Viré-Clessé is a textbook example of purity and aromatic persistence. The domain conducts vinification using native yeasts and élevage on the lees in casks. Very little sulphur is used in the process. Although the wine can be enjoyed right away, it is best to open it at least two hours before serving, giving it time to open out. If you're really patient, it could easily be left for ten years before drinking. The perfect pairing? Fish in sauce, poultry in cream, hard cheese... or just on its own, as an aperitif.

Viré-Clessé Valette (Domaine) serve at a temperature of 12°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Le poulet rôti, Blanquette de dinde fermière, Lasagne de cabillaud aux petits légumes.

    Information about domain Valette

    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
