Pouilly-Fuissé Clos de M. Noly - Maison Valette - Pouilly-Fuissé - White Wine (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

With the Clos de Monsieur Noly, Maison Valette takes its radical and free-spirited vision of Burgundian Chardonnay even further. This exclusive cuvée, sourced from a historic vineyard on the estate, blends the 2011, 2012, 2013, 2016 and 2018 vintages in a manner that is entirely atypical for the appellation. Here, time is regarded as a vital tool in the winemaking process. Long ageing periods and cross-vintage blends enable the creation of a wine of rare depth, where each year contributes its own distinct dimension: tension, maturity, energy or aromatic complexity. The estate's work is based on an uncompromising artisanal approach, using grapes from old vines and subjecting them to extremely long ageing periods, carried out without any attempt at standardisation. This philosophy gives rise to lively, evolving wines that are deeply influenced by their terroir. The wine develops a particularly complex profile, combining ripe yellow fruit, candied citrus, spices, toasty notes, dried fruit and perfectly integrated, slightly oxidative nuances. On the palate, it impresses with its simultaneous density and tension: a full-bodied, enveloping texture, underpinned by a lingering mineral freshness that considerably lengthens the finish. This cuvée stands out as much for its unique winemaking method as for its ability to offer an exceptional interpretation of Pouilly-Fuissé.
