Domaine Valette Pouilly-Fuissé "Tradition" Blanc 2018

Country: France

Region: Burgundy

Type: White Wine

Grape: Chardonnay

Philippe Valette is known as one of the godfathers of natural winemaking, especially in the Mâcon. He organically farms his 15 hectares of Chardonnay vineyards on the best terroirs in and around the village of Chaintré. Harvest is done by hand, and yields are low. Valette's wines are noted for their concentration. They are tactile wines, expressing generous minerality and saltiness. Depending on the cuvée and the vintage, Philippe ages his wines in old oak from 6 months to as long as 5 years.

Notes of rich, roasted hazelnuts and grapefruit, with bright acidity and deep, powerful minerality. Medium to full-bodied, textural and concentrated, with a bright spine of acidity and a long, saline finish.
