Mâcon-Chaintré V.V. 2017 - Maison Valette

Tasting notes

Opening in the glass with aromas of buttered orchard fruit, orange rind, smoke and nutmeg, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny-textured and muscular, with lively acids, chewy structuring extract and a long, sapid finish. This is an intensely characterful Mâcon-Chaintré that exemplifies the last two decades of reflection and evolution chez Valette.

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

Maison Valette – Mâconnais, Burgundy
Living, natural Chardonnays from one of the pioneers of no-added-sulphur winemaking in Burgundy.


A benchmark for natural wine lovers
Located in Chaintré, on the southern edge of Burgundy, Maison Valette farms 15 hectares of Chardonnay organically, though without formal certification — a deliberate choice grounded in philosophy, not marketing.

Since 1992, Philippe Valette, along with his brother Baptiste and wife Cécile, has pursued a pure, uncompromising approach: no additives, no filtration, no shortcuts. Just time, patience, and trust in nature.


Vineyard & cellar work
Soils are a mix of clay-limestone and siliceous stone.
Grapes are harvested by hand at full maturity, pressed whole-cluster, and fermented spontaneously with native yeasts.
No added sulphur during vinification. Wines are aged 2 to 3 years on fine lees, unfined and unfiltered.


Key cuvées

Mâcon-Villages
Clean, mineral, vibrant. A pure introduction to the Valette style.

Pouilly-Fuissé "Tradition"
Saline, structured, and gastronomic. Complex and alive on the palate.

Viré-Clessé "Et pourtant..."
Powerful and textured. Yellow fruits, white flowers, stone minerality. Long and lively.

Pouilly-Fuissé Clos Reyssié
Rare cuvée. Deep, concentrated Chardonnay aged with precision. Serious structure and great cellaring potential.
